Literary Element Review Cards | ELA Test Prep

Use these literary element cards to help students study, assist them in analysis, save yourself from having to explain the same definition 50 times, or even to prepare them for a test! I've included 32 of the literary elements that appear most often within critical thinking and analytical questions. 

On each card you'll find the term, a simple definition, and an example from literature or popular movies/TV shows. My students like to use these cards to "Quiz" each other - and I love that they can look up any term on their own AND see an example. I've also had students cut the bottom of the cards off and use them like a matching game. :)
