| Section 4.2 Assignment Part A: Literary Device Study Guide |
Introduction
There are a significant number of literary terms to know when reading and writing about poetry. An easy way to keep track of all of them is to create your very own literary device study guide.
Instructions
Here are the poetic terms you need to know in English 10:

|
Select the 12 terms that you need the most review for. For each of those terms you will now create a definition in your own words, including an example (you can create your own or find an example in literature), and an illustration (you can create or find an example) or image that will help you to learn the information.
See the following example: Term: simile Definition: A simile is a type of figurative language where the writer compares two essentially unlike things using like, than or as; a simile is an indirect comparison. Example: O my luve’s like a red, red roseThat’s newly sprung in June; O my luve’s like the melodieThat’s sweetly played in tune. |
Illustration:

For more examples, go to the Literary Device Library.
Put the definitions together in a useful format—several pages stapled together like a booklet—a stack of cue cards with an elastic band, or a Power Point presentation. Find a way to package your study guide that will encourage you to use it and add to it later on. The format of the presentation is open to your interpretation. Just ensure that you make it useable, as these terms will come up again and again in this course and in English 11 and 12. You might as well make your study guide a keeper.
