I had a request for a review of some literary devices before the STAAR, so here’s a good Wikipedia page. In my opinion, some of the major ones you might want to review are:

• flashback
• foreshadowing
• in media res
• first-person, second-person, third-person narration
• hyperbole
• imagery
• sensory detail
• tone
• irony
• symbolism
• theme

Would you share this on whatever social media platforms you use, for the classes with whom I didn’t get to discuss this? (According to fourth period, Edmodo is where you guys all hang out on the Internet.)
