Teach pupils about the use of literary devices and figurative language in the classic children’s novel The Iron Man using these four differentiated activities.

The Iron Man by Ted Hughes 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 and 2 are explored in the following activities:
• Literary Device Match: 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 a challenge activity
• Completing Personification (differentiated x2): pupils complete the personifications using the appropriate verb and then complete a challenge activity
• Identifying Literary Devices (differentiation x3): pupils find and underline listed literary devices used in an extract from the novel

The following literary devices are covered by these activities:
• Similes
• Metaphors
• Personification
• Alliteration
• Repetition
• 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.
