EXAMPLES OF LITERARY DEVICES
Literary devices make reading and writing more interesting. Mrs. Rose assigned a project to her sixth graders where they had to make a video explaining four literary devices: simile, personification, idiom, alliteration. A simile is a comparison of two things using like or as; for example 'as busy as a bumble bee' or 'as flat as a pancake'. Personification is giving human traits to non-human things; for example 'the trees waved at the sun' and 'the grass danced in the wind'. You will have to watch the videos to find out about alliteration and idiom. CLICK ON THE PHOTO above to access the video.
