Poetry Terms/Techniques Display Cards

Very useful for the new 2015 onwards English Literature Poetry exam. Big, bold and designed to be read from across the classroom. Ready to print A4 sized cards containing the name of the poetry term, a student friendly definition and a short, memorable example of its use, where applicable. These can be used as flashcards or displayed on the wall to create a display. My GCSE students find these very helpful to refer to when analysing the language, structure and form of a poem.

Poetry terms include: Ambiguity, assonance, blank verse, caesura, consonance, end-stopping, enjambment, form, free verse, half-rhyme, iambic pentameter, internal rhyme, iambic tetrameter, layout, metre, mood, sonnet, stanza, structure, volta, syllable, rhyming couplet, rhyme scheme, rhythm and sibilance .
