Personification Powerpoint

This personification visual resource gives students an understanding of the language device. Through the use of images it outlines how personification is achieved through the use of an inanimate object and a human action word/verb.

The first slide contains a definition followed by four examples of personification in sentence form. In addition, the slide contains a visual aid of two images which exemplify personification in a simple way.

The second slide contains a personification sentence building exercise. This consists of a verbs list and an accompanying image which requires students to build sentences using verbs from the list and objects from the image to create examples of the personification language device for themselves.

The third slide consists of a poem which students need to annotate in order to find examples of personification, checking their learning from the previous slides.

The fourth slide is an entirely visual resource consisting of a picture with labelled objects which allows for many personification examples.
The fifth slide contains a list of human action verbs to support the activity on the fourth slide.
This resource contains four activities which can be adjusted and extended by teachers to fit your lesson. For example, you can change the amount of required sentences or ask students to produce one or two paragraphs in order to extend specific activities.

Extension ideas:
Create your own personification poem.
Students use image on fourth slide to write a short story using personification throughout.
