This resource focuses on the language technique allusion. The worksheet begins with an information box which explains the technique, gives an example and explains its effect. This is followed by a range of activities which build in complexity through the two-page worksheet. Activities include identifying different types of allusion, students writing their own examples, and understanding and analysing a complex example of allusion in a poem.
The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and includes answers and examples for many of the worksheet tasks, as well as an example of allusion in print advertising and a visual discussion/analysis task. The presentation includes links to two images which should be inserted into the presentation before use - they could not be included in the original for copyright reasons.
This resource is suitable for a high school or upper primary school audience. The worksheet is included in both Word and pdf formats to ensure no loss of detail.
