All Pre-AP Classes: Literary Terms Presentations

Using the following presentation as both a rubric and a model, develop a PowerPoint-like presentation for the literary terms your grade-level is working on.



Both Pre-AP English I and II students will use the following 10 terms:

• Simile
• Metaphor
• Alliteration
• Onomatopoeia
• Personification
• Allusion
• Oxymoron
• Paradox
• Diction
• Hyperbole

In addition to those terms, Pre-AP English II students will include the following in their presentations:

• Anaphora
• Apostrophe
• Foreshadowing
• Flashback
• Imagery
• Metonymy

Remember, if you don't have Microsoft PowerPoint, you may use other presentations like the free OpenOffice or online solutions like Google Docs. If you have a smartphone with a flashcard app, you may use that (term + definition on one side, example and illustration on the other). Digital files can be emailed to me as an attachment or delivered on a flashdrive.

If you have absolutely no way of doing this digitally, you may use "paper slides," but you really need to work on finding a long-term solution. Pre-AP II: As soon as the third six weeks, you'll need to be typing/word processing outside writing assignments.
