What educators are saying

This is a great resource! My students loved using it and learned a lot. It made learning more engaging.
My students enjoyed reviewing poetic/figurative devices via Kay Perry's song. I use this activity to jump start their own analysis project - it piques their interest and gets them excited about analyzing their own songs.

Description

Figurative Language and Poetic Devices/Poetry Terms Identification using Katy Perry's "Firework"

Use Katy Perry's popular song "Firework" to teach figurative language, sound devices, and other poetry terms. You can decide how many and which devices you'd like your students to find.

Updated to include additional exercises for more in-depth learning and making connections to the text!

Those I've pointed out in this exercise include:

alliteration, anaphora, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance, epistrophe, tone/mood, imagery, anaphora, and irony.

This lesson is NOT affiliated with Katy Perry or Capitol Records. The lyrics are used within the fair usage guidelines.

This IS included in my mega bundle: ALL of my POETRY RESOURCES GROWING BUNDLE.
