Fun visuals for learning literary terms.
Introduction
Simply handing out a worksheet of literary terms and having students review written definitions and examples can be challenging when studying literature. Students need something to help them remember and understand these important terms. Providing a visual, often with music and media, seems to receive good results when working with our 21st century students. They will relate to these methods and have fun while learning.
