Today, I introduced the poetry unit. You took notes on literary devices (imagery: metaphors, similes, extended metaphors, personification, hyperbole, irony, satire, symbolism, allusion, flashback, and foreshadowing).. I then introduced sound devices (rhythm, metre, rhyme, allitaration, onomatopoeia and repetition) but haven't defined them. We will finish the notes on Monday (I also read you a poem entitled "Hams").
