This collection will support students in identifying and creating effective literary devices, as a review, in preparation for an upcoming poetry unit. Students will begin with a See-Think-Wonder activity, followed by a quick write, a review of five literary devices (diction, imagery, metaphor, simile, and tone), and ending with a small group See-Think-Wonder activity and the creation of sentences based on the images using the literary devices listed above. 

Pieces included:

1. Thomas Moran, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, 1872
2. Thomas Moran, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, 1893-1901
3. Thomas Moran, The Chasm of the Colorado, 1873-1874
