What are literary elements?

Literary elements, also known as literary devices, are writing techniques used to create artistic special effects, that immerse the reader into a narrative, story, or text. Literary elements are specific ways that storytellers use words in specific patterns to tell their stories. They are considered the main tools in a writer’s toolbox. Popular literary devices include allusion, diction, foreshadowing, imagery, metaphors, similes, and personification, which we’ll cover more in our list of literary elements.

Think of literary devices as the spice to writing. To prevent your book or story from tasting dull and bland to the reader, make it pop with life by sprinkling in some effective literary elements throughout. 

Here is a list of 20 Popular Literary Devices/Elements

__________________________________

     Work Time -   Highlighting the Literary Devices         

 

• Use the following colors to code the Literary Devices in your poems.
  
  
  Metaphors/Similes
  Repetitions
  Personification

• Then, go through your assigned authors and assign points in the rubric(s) on their use of these literary devices.
• DIALOGUE - There should be THREE sets of dialogue.  In other words, there should be three conversations between two characters throughout each of your poems. Highlight them in fascia.
• WORD CHOICE - You should use three vocabulary words in each poem.  Highlight them in yellow.

How to format dialogue in your poem(s)...

An excerpt from Choose, page 106

The man behind us whispers,

Choose America,

more opportunities there,

especially for a family

with boys ready to work.

Mother whispers back,

My sons

must first go to college.

If they're smart

America will give them

scholarships.

Mother chooses.
