**Are you looking for literary elements posters or figurative language posters for your classroom? Would it be great if you also had some literary elements activities to accompany them? **These figurative language posters and activities will really help your class to understand all the literary devices.
The resource starts with a pack of 9 literary elements posters, focusing on figurative language. There is a teacher guide, at the beginning, to explain how the posters work. The first poster is an overview poster, where all of the figurative language techniques are listed with a helpful mnemonic device ‘Ms. Aposhi’. This spells out:
Metaphors
Similes
Alliteration
Personification
Onomatopoeia
Symbolism
Hyperbole
Irony
There is then an individual poster for each of the figurative language techniques. Each one has three different ways of explaining the literary element:
A poem, showcasing the device (with several examples of that specific device used)
A symbol to remind students what that device means
A definition to help students understand the device
These posters all continue with the Ms. Aposhi theme - the poems all link to her.
After this, in section 2, there are 8 worksheets for pupils to apply their learning about the figurative language features. These worksheets each have a postcard from Ms. Aposhi. She is on her travels and each postcard has examples of the specific figurative device that the worksheet is focusing on. Pupils must write the passage used and the reasons why this device has been used.
