This resource contains 27 literary devices and their definitions as well as three column headings: device, definition, example. The example column is to be provided by the learners and can be done in relation to the texts that you are studying. Ensure that the cards are cut out in advance (or as a minimum cut the sheets into strips and get pupils to cut down further). This is simply because the definitions correspond to the device in the same location on each sheet. Because the definitions and devices can be matched easily from the uncut sheet, it makes this a brilliant task to be used during a cover lesson if a non-specialist is delivering the work. The front sheet provides visual instructions to support learners during the task.

This resource starts with a list of "weak" adjectives, and the student is tasked with providing a better adjective. Then they can put what they have done to use with an editing activity below. Ideal for EAL/ ESOL teaching, lower ability GCSE English language groups and KS3.
