Literary Devices Poster Instructions for Students
Each student will be assigned one literary device.
Begin with a rough draft of your poster. Once approved, move to the final version on a larger poster page.
Your poster must include:
A title (the name of your device).
A definition of the device (in your own words).
A written example of the device.
An image or illustration that represents the example.
Be creative! Use color, neat writing, and clear visuals.
Your final poster will be marked out of 20 points (see rubric below).
Assessment Rubric (20 Points Total)

Conclusion
Day 10 blends creativity with meaningful learning. By transforming literary devices into visual posters, students move beyond memorizing terms and begin to interpret and express them. This hands-on work not only supports stronger comprehension but also builds confidence as students create something polished and display-ready. The posters become lasting reference tools in the classroom—and a reminder that understanding literature can be both rigorous and fun.
