Are you looking for a figurative language worksheet that gives students practice identifying and analysing language features in context? Each worksheet includes a short descriptive passage followed by questions where students find and highlight examples of figurative language, explain why the author used it, identify words that create mood or atmosphere, and write their own sentence using specific devices.
Three worksheets are included, each with a different passage and a slightly different question set. Answer keys are included for all three.
What's included:
Worksheet 1: find and highlight simile, personification, imagery and emotive vocabulary; multiple choice author's purpose question; identify words that create tension; write a sentence using imagery and hyperbole
Worksheet 2: match language features to examples from the text; multiple choice author's purpose question; identify words that create tension; write a sentence using vivid vocabulary and a simile
Worksheet 3: find and highlight simile, personification, idiom and emotive vocabulary; multiple choice author's purpose question; identify words that create a magical or mysterious atmosphere; write a sentence using imagery, a metaphor and an idiom
