Helpful Phrases for Language Analysis (Including Tips & Effects)

(0)
This is a handout for KS3/KS4 Students & Teachers. I made this because my Year 11s were begging me for a handout that clearly shows them multiple ways of explaining the effects of language. They struggle with variety in their answers and many found this helpful! The handout also clearly explains how to properly analyse ‘imagery’ (often poorly understood) and ‘connotations.’
