2 Matching Figurative Language Techniques Worksheets

(0)
These 2 worksheets are a great lesson starter to recap students’ ability to identify figurative / language techniques. To save paper, each worksheet is ready to be printed as 2 pages per A4 paper. I usually hand out the first worksheet, Matching Language Techniques 1, to my Grade 8 and 9 classes as a lesson starter before I annotate poetry and short stories with them. It helps students remember the different types of language techniques before annotating a text as a class. In the following lesson, I would give my students Matching Language Techniques 2 and it’s a bit more challenging because they’re familiar with the language techniques from the first one. Nonetheless, I had a low performing Grade 9 class and so I’ve made a differentiated version of Matching Language Techniques 2 to ensure that it’s not too hard for them. Recommended for: Grades 7–9 Duration: ~10 minutes per worksheet Includes: ✓ Editable Word (.docx) files ✓ Differentiation for low performing students ✓ Answers WHAT FIGURATIVE / LANGUAGE TECHNIQUES ARE COVERED? Matching Language Techniques 1 • Simile • Repetition • Enjambment • Metaphor • Alliteration • Rhyme • Hyperbole • Personification Matching Language Techniques 2 • Simile • Oxymoron • Alliteration • Rhyme • Metaphor • Assonance • Personification • Onomatopoeia • Sibilance • Hyperbole • Consonance Other Figurative / Language Techniques Resources: ➤ Magic School Escape Room – Narrative Structure & Figurative / Language Techniques ➤ Escape the Pirate Ship – Poetry & Figurative / Language Techniques Escape Room ➤ Figurative / Language Techniques Bingo
