This colourful and engaging powerpoint presentation asks through a series of structured tasks - What is ‘hyperbole’ and what is ‘understatement’? What is the purpose of these two terms? What potential effects can these writing techniques have upon the audience? I have found this lesson particulary helpful in my own class, for identifying language techniques in texts and to support student's writing to persuade/describe skills.

This colourful powerpoint presentation is extremely engaging for the students and has worked well in my own classroom.
