Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Literary devices are the techniques writers use to build meaning, from an allusion to a quest plot. There are 16 sheets for 7th grade here, 14 with answer keys. Analyze Why Writers Use Allusions explains what a reference adds, Plot Archetype of the Quest maps six stages onto a story, and Foreshadowing in a Ferry Crossing Story sorts hints from plain description. Verbal, Situational or Dramatic Irony? covers three kinds of irony. Character Archetype Cards to Complete and the Literary Terms Reference have no answer keys. Native sheets practice L.7.5.A and RL.7.3.
