Language Technique Effect Cards

About this printable

This A4 printable contains a grid of labelled cards (icons, technique name and a brief 'EFFECT:' description) intended to be cut out and used as manipulables during English lessons. It summarises a range of literary/language techniques (e.g. quotation, imagery, metaphor, repetition, rhetorical question, short sentences) and the typical effect each technique has on a reader. Use it to support close reading, modelling analytical vocabulary, or to speed up student responses during exam-style analysis.
