  1. Figurative Language

  2. Simile • Comparison of two unlike things using LIKE or AS. • Example: The students were LIKE bees buzzing quietly on their assignments.

  3. Metaphor • Comparison of two unlike things WITHOUT LIKE or AS. • Example: The students were bees buzzing quietly on their assignments.

  4. Imagery • Sensory details (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell) used to help readers see and experience the text. The key is the word IMAGE. • Example: The sky was aglow with cotton candy pinks, deep purples, fiery oranges, and wispy white tendrils of clouds over the salty, frigid ocean.

  5. Personification • Giving human-like qualities to animals, objects, or abstract ideas for literary or artistic effect. • Example: The seagulls danced over the seashells resting on the shore.

  6. Alliteration • Repetition of the beginning sound of a word. • Example: Flashy fish flicked their fins in the azure water.
