Imagery: what is imagery and how can I use it for effect?

This is a lesson for KS3 or lower ability KS4 students which explains imagery. The learning objective is: ‘what is imagery and how can I use it for effect?’ This lesson contains a carousel where students move around the room, looking at different examples of language which can be used to create imagery (similes, metaphors, personification, pathetic fallacy and tricolons), making notes and writing their own examples of each language feature to describe the image of a lion. Students then look at a model of how to use these language features to create a paragraph of imagery describing the lion, and students have a go themselves. The lesson ends with peer assessment and improvement of students’ work.
