Poetry Terms Quiz!
Just a brief quiz on poetry terms, which should be mostly REVIEW from the last few years of poetry. To be up to date, I recommend going through your A-Z Literary devices booklet and making sure you know the terms:)
The quiz is all multiple choice and out of /20 marks!
Here are some hints on what you should definitely know in addition to new terms from the booklet:
- pun
- allusion
- free verse, blank verse, internal rhyme, and rhyme (whats the difference btw all these?)
- symbol
- couplet
- assonance
- metaphor and simile (the difference between these? One uses like or as and one does NOT)
- Iambic Pentameter
- Trochaic
- Apostrophe
- Euphemism
- Cacophony (Harsh sounding words with consonants like K/T/C/R)
- Euphony (Nice sounding smooth words with consonants like W/VOWELS)
- Oxymoron and Juxtaposition and Paradox (Difference btw these?)
- Hyperbole (big exaggeration to prove effect)
GOOD LUCK and see you all tomorrow! Email me/Tweet with any questions anytime:)
