ELA Vocabulary Poster Project - Elements of Literature, Poetry, and Drama

This poster project is a great way to introduce elements of literature, poetry, and drama. Creative academic vocabulary activities help your students connect quickly to terms they’ll see throughout the school year. You can even use these vocabulary posters as classroom décor as a constant reference.

Students create a poster with a definition and example of one vocabulary term. You can distribute these so that all of the terms are covered.

Three sets of vocabulary activities: 

✅ Elements of literature (literary devices)

✅ Elements of drama (drama terms)

✅ Elements of poetry (figurative language)
