Alabama ELA Standard: 3.LF.27

Read prose, poetry, and dramas, identifying the literary devices used by the author to convey meaning.

Author’s Voice: Rudyard Kipling

Every great author sounds like no one else. Students learn to hear an author’s voice with Beatrix Potter’s calm Peter Rabbit, then borrow Rudyard Kipling’s playful voice, turning a flat, boring passage into writing that sounds just like him. It is reading like a writer, and it is the kind of thinking your strongest readers are hungry for.

Improving Shakespeare’s Repetition

Let’s help William Shakespeare with his use of repetition.

Think Like An Author: Hemingway vs Dickens

What if your students rewrote Dickens in the style of Hemingway and vice versa?

Writing About Art: The Scream

Your students will turn the iconic painting The Scream into a vivid, sensory poem.

Fancier Figurative Language: Advanced Repetition

Is your students’ use of repetition limited to, “The girl was very, very, very fast.”? Let’s borrow some ideas from Shakespeare!

Advanced Alliteration and Consonance

When students learn about alliteration, it’s hard to steer them away from goofy tongue-twisters. Certainly, there must be more powerful and practical ways of using alliteration. In this lesson, I draw on delicious examples from Shakespeare to show how a very advanced writer used alliteration. Then, I break those ideas down so students can try them out.

Describing Author’s Voice

What if… Edgar Allen Poe wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland?

Studying and Remixing “The Raven”

Ready to push kids beyond the boring, old ABAB rhyme scheme and into something a bit more complex?
