Literature: literary devices

"Then our house at the bottom of a hill lost all its life"

"a dying box look like a home"

"Hunger colored those days"

•    Then our house at the bottom of a hill lost all its life = personification
•    a dying box look like a home = simile ‘like’
•    Hunger colored those days = personification

What is the effect of these literary devices??

Personification; enhance the drama

Simile = like; comparing an ordinary loving and necessity which should portray a safe environment to a dramatic object related to death enhances the gravity of the situation and the severeness of the living conditions.

What tip would you give another student with reference to (the learning objectives of) this lesson? Explain why you chose this tip.

Bandura: modeling = learning from others' behaviour (successes or failures)

What mark would you give yourself with reference to your input during this lesson?

Bandura's self-regulated learning = establishing standards and assessing oneself.

Slavin, 2018, p114; students need many opportunities to use goal-setting and self-evaluation strategies in a variety of contexts to monitor and celebrate their progress; and to understand how, when and why they should self-regulate.
