In this learning activity, students will be introduced to literary devices used in poetry through the video, Poetic Devices Defined. Then, students will define and give an example of a literary device at random by spinning a digital wheel. Finally, students will share their definitions and examples with the class through a carousel around the room.
This activity was created as a result of the ALEX Resource Development Summit.
In this learning activity, students will read Dear Basketball by Kobe Bryant. Students will then complete a Poetry Analysis graphic organizer looking for the following literary devices in the poem: metaphor, alliteration, rhyme, hyperbole, repetition, imagery, and personification. Finally, students will explain how using the specific literary device enhances the meaning of the poem.
In this learning activity, students will use a graphic organizer to write their own tribute poem/letter using at least four literary devices of their choice. The students will then partner with another student and read their tribute poems. Finally, student partners will provide feedback on each other's poems using Poetry Feedback Prompts.
