Worksheet Overview

Use of Language - Personification

 

There are so many ways we can use language to create amazing images.

One particular technique is called personification.

 

Personification is when something non-human is given human attributes, emotions or actions.

 

For example:

 

The trees danced in the wind.

 

Trees in the wind.

 

Or...

 

The car coughed to life.

 

Cartoon of a yellow car.

 

Trees can't actually 'dance' and cars can't 'cough', so the technique of personification has been used to give them human characteristics.

 

Shall we have a go at some questions now?
