Fancier Figurative Language: Advanced Repetition

Part 4 of Fancier Figurative Language

🔓 This is an unlocked sample! Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
 
 

Objective

Students apply techniques of repetition from Shakespeare to their own writing.

We want to take students' repetition beyond "The girl was very, very, VERY fast" and get them borrowing advanced repetition patterns from Shakespeare.

Steps

  1. Students will repeat a starting word, but not right next to itself: "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers."
  2. Students will repeat a starting phrase rather than one word: "Is the chair empty? Is the sword unsway'd? Is the king dead?"
