Literary Techniques Display (Using Disney)

A great resource for engaging students with difficult literary techniques using Disney films as examples. I have found that these have worked incredibly well, especially with low ability students, in order to help them understand what each technique means and how it is used.

I have used these resources with both Key Stage Three and Four, and have found them particularly helpful with GCSE low ability.

The techniques explained are as follows:
- Theme
- Symbolism
- Dramatic irony
- Archetype
- Foil
- Allusion
- Foreshadowing
- Mood
- Breaking the fourth wall
- Exposition
- Conflict
- Climax
