The Great Gatsby LITERARY DEVICES EXERCISES

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

NEW IN 2020: Rigorous! Engaging! Thought-provoking! This 20-page EDITABLE document invites your students to analyze the literary devices used in The Great Gatsby. This activity promises to elicit dynamic engagement from all students without compromising on intellectual rigor. The worksheets on literary devices will challenge your students to dig beneath the surface of the text and generate profound interpretive insights!

Here's what you'll find inside:

Figurative Language Quizzes (x3): Each quiz challenges students to identify the types of figurative language — metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, paradox, etc. — used in 25 quotations from The Great Gatsby. The quizzes cover the figurative language used in chapters 1-3, chapters 4-6, and chapters 7-9 — so you can roll out each quiz after your class finishes three chapters and see whether they're improving. This worksheet can be used either as a fun exercise or as a quiz. This worksheet provides students with great practice at identifying the kinds of literary devices that frequently appear on the SAT, ACT, and AP Literature exams. Answer keys included. (15 pages)

Sound Devices Worksheet: This worksheet challenges students to explain how a range of sound devices — such as alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia — contribute to the novel's meaning. Fitzgerald was a poetic writer whose ear was acutely attuned to the resonances of sound, and there are many passages in his novel where the sounds of the words help to create an aural ambiance. This worksheet can similarly be used either as a fun exercise or as a quiz. Answer key included. (2 pages)

Figurative Language Glossary: This bundle also includes a glossary with definitions of the literary devices as well as examples of how they're used in Fitzgerald's novel. You'll want to distribute the glossary to students and give them a night to study it before rolling out the worksheets/quizzes. Fyi, there is no overlap between sentences from Fitzgerald's novel used as examples in the glossary and the sentences included in the worksheets. (1 page)

These worksheets will come to you in a 20-page EDITABLE Word document which you can customize to the needs of your students! The preview for this resource provides viewing access to the entire document. Click on the green “PREVIEW” button to see what you’ll get. . . .

Thank you for choosing “Rigorous Resources”!!

SUMMARY:

In Venice, Iago is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against his General, Othello, the Moor of Venice. Iago manipulates Othello into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful, stirring Othello's jealousy. In Othello, Shakespeare delves into the human condition and how we respond to jealousy, deception, loyalty, and treachery. Will Othello reflect our own sentiments or not? Would we be driven to murder as well?

This 10th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to delve into the importance of what happens when we don't check our loyalties and love. Can we be too ambitious? Can one person show both heroic and villainous sides at the same time?
