Teach pupils about the use of literary devices and figurative language in the novel Stormbreaker using these four differentiated activities.
The first novel in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz is full of literary devices such as similes, metaphors and personification. Examples of these and more are explored to give pupils a deeper understanding of the text and enable them to create their own to enhance their writing.
Literary devices and figurative language examples from chapters 1 to 8 are explored in the following activities:
• Literary Device Match (differentiated x3): pupils match the literary devices with their definitions and examples (ideal as a paired or small group activity)
• Completing Similes (differentiated x2): complete the similes using the appropriate noun phrase and then complete an extension activity
• Completing Personification (differentiated x2): pupils complete the personifications using the appropriate verb/noun and then complete an extension activity
• Identifying Literary Devices (differentiated x3): pupils find and underline listed literary devices used in extracts from the novel
The following literary devices are covered by these activities:
• Similes
• Metaphors
• Personification
• Alliteration
• Repetition for effect
• Rule of three
• Hyperbole
• Onomatopoeia
• Rhetorical questions
Full answers to all activities are included.
Each activity comes as an easily editable word document and in PDF format.
