How to use this Literary Device Vocabulary Activity:
These figurative language posters will solidify essential terminology to support your students during literary analysis. This vocabulary activity results in a useful classroom anchor chart to display these figurative language terms on your bulletin board.
These word wall worksheets can be used as either a collaborative activity or an individual assignment.
To use this resource as a collaborative activity, assign a term to each student or group of students. Students can use online resources to write a definition of the literary device and explain why an author would utilize this device. Then, they can draw from their background knowledge or find examples online to illustrate the use of each figurative language term. I find that when students apply their own examples from popular culture, these terms become easier to understand!
Once students have completed their figurative language poster, you can laminate these pages and display them on the classroom bulletin as a word wall anchor chart.
To use this activity as an individual workbook, you can either have students work through it at the beginning of your literature unit or throughout the course of your studies. The second option works great when you find literary pairings that demonstrate the use of particular literary terms, but the first is effective if you plan to jump into close reading assignments and want students to have a reference workbook of these figurative language terms available.
The literary devices explored in this resource include:
- Amplification
- Analogy
- Aphorism
- Contrast
- Extended Metaphor
- Imagery
- Irony
- Metaphor
- Motif
- Personification
- Simile
A completed answer key has also been provided with this resource in order to consolidate this activity. The figurative language examples used to illustrate each term feature diverse authors and references to popular culture. This answer key can also be used as a set of ready-to-print figurative language posters for your classroom bulletin board.
