Literary Terms: The End of the Beginning

Alright, kiddos! We are just about done with all the "boring" stuff here at the beginning that will serve as a foundation for the rest of the year's work. We have created mini-posters for literary terms and have created personal glossaries in the front pages of our notebooks. From here on out, we can add examples or additional terms as we run across them. You can check out the list of literary terms we focused on in the HoMS PowerPoint (see previous blogpost).

There are BAJILLIONS of other resources online that give more detailed and more extensive lists of literary terms with many examples. Here are a few places that are reliable and accurate:​

• Shmoop Lit Devices with relatable examples (a GREAT resource in general)

• A nicely organized high school list

• Oxford Literary Terms Dictionary

• Purdue Literary Terms Glossary sorted by application

• Fiction AND Nonfiction Lit Terms

• AP Literary Terms (advanced level)
