Worksheet Overview

Knowing how to write and how to communicate well with your audience is a key skill in English.

 

One way to do this if you are creating fiction, is to challenge yourself in terms of the literary devices you use.

Literary devices are specific ways in which language is used to create clear meaning for the reader.

 

In this activity, you will develop your skills in identifying literary devices and begin to look at the effect they have.
