How to Use This Weekly Literary Devices Resource:

At the beginning of each week, introduce a new literary device to your students with the included presentation. Discuss the video clip, images, and examples connected to that literary device. Then have students complete the related task in their bell-ringer booklet or write the definition in their own words in the definition booklet.

Place the Literary Term of The Week poster on a bulletin board in your classroom. Under this poster, place the literary term for that week. Students will be tasked with finding examples in the week of that term and posting them underneath. They can write it on a sticky note, clip it out of a magazine, or print something they found online. At the end of the week, review what the students have added to the board!
