Before we start our short story unit - students should be able to identify the vareity of liteary and figurative devies used. By being able to recognize alliterations, metaphors, similies, onomotopies, students are able to dig deeper when analyzing a short story. Students are able to pull evidence from their text to support their answers such as - how does the main character contribute to the overal theme of the short story?
Take a look at what my students created! As a classroom note, which did take time (a couple of periods with discussion), students created a literary and figurative device flipbook that they now keep with them as we read short stories and analyze them. This is a useful tool that they will also use in term 2, when we hit the ground running in our writing unit.
