Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson we will be able to recognise and use various literary devices.Slide3
Poetry V Prose
Poetry – when language
is used
creatively to convey meaning.
Prose – ordinary written language. It flows naturally, like speech
.Slide4
Poem 1: The Seagull
Seagull, seagull, sit on the sand,
It’s never good weather when you’re on the land.
Anon. Slide5
Alliteration
repetition of a particular sound in the first syllables of a series of words
or phrases.Slide6
Alliteration Continued
Continue this poem, using a different animal for each line and using alliteration:
One wicked walrus was woefully wet.
Two torpid tortoises told terrible tales.
Three ...
Four…
Five…
Six…
Seven…
Eight…
Nine…
Ten…
You need to use a different animal for each number, while describing them doing something, using alliteration. Slide7
Rhyme
Rhyme is when two words sound the same.
E.g. Dog and log, house and mouse. Slide8
Poem 2: The Porcupine
Although they rarely show their features
Porcupines are far from spineless creatures.
J.F HendrySlide9
Rhyming…

a
Rhyming Couplet
. Slide10
TASK
Write a six line poem that contains
3 rhyming couplets
.
FOR EXAMPLE:
The fluffy white dog
Sat on a rotting log.
His tail wagged furiously,
His head cocked curiously.
Along came a cat
And he ran off like that.Slide11
Poem 3 – The Robin
If on a frosty morning
the robin redbreast calls,
his waistcoat red and burning
like a beggar at your walls.
Throw bread crumbs on the grass for him
when the ground is hard and still,
for in his breast there is still a flame
that winter cannot kill.
By Iain Crichton SmithSlide12
Comparisons
One of the main things that a poem often does is compare one thing to another thing.
Look at the poem The Robin.
What is the Robin being compared to in the first four lines?Slide13
There are two ways you can make comparisons…
Simile
MetaphorSlide14
Metaphors
Frogs sit more solid
than anything sits. In mid-leap they are
parachutists falling
in a free fall. They die on roads
with arms across their chests and
Heads high.Slide15
S
imiles
I love frogs that sit
Like Buddha, that fall without
Parachutes, that die
Like Italian tenors. Slide16
Above all, I love them because,
pursued in water, they never
panic so much that they fail
to make stylish triangles
with their ballet dancer’s
legs.
By Norman
MacCaigSlide17
Poem 5- Catfish
The leopard eye of a murderer
And the body of an eel
Combine to form a velvet glove
That has a grip like steel.
By J.F. Hendry
