Style Analysis Task Cards - For any text or passage!
I have used this time and time again in my classroom to analysis the language of specific passages. This can be done in small groups, stations, or even individually. The wording is made to be flexible towards whatever task you need!
I especially recommend laminating these. They are great for a rainy day lesson plan! All you need are passages! These would also be excellent for test prep or studying isolated passages.
