Language Features Matching Pairs cards

This resource was designed to help my students learn a number of language features (16 actually) and to help them to identify examples of each one. I have included three sets of cards, having used each set in a slightly different way, and instructions for suggested activities. They are similar but may have slightly different content.

I have included 'colour', 'contrast' and 'imagery' in each of the sets even though these are not always included amongst basic language features as I have found, when reading texts with my students, that 'colour' is used to create atmosphere or a particular image in the reader's mind - especially when it is used for symbolism.

Obviously you may use as many or as few of the cards as you wish and may find alternative uses for them - e.g. using them as keyword prompts or for practising spellings.

I hope both the cards and the activity suggestions I have included are useful.
