Here are some free video lessons and printables about figurative language I created to help you teach your children about literary devices with a Christmas theme.
Christmas is the perfect time to teach these concepts because of all the wonderful traditions that come with Christmas that captures all five of our senses and more! And that’s what literary devices are mostly about!
You can included figurative language during this study too! Figurative language brings a scene or picture to life for us and Christmas is the perfect time to try to visualize a scene painted with words.
A Christmas Carol Novel Study with a Christian Worldview
For upper middle and high school students, A Christmas Carol is the perfect novel to study literary devices and figurative language. Charles Dickens used them extensively and very effectively in his writing so that we could picture what Victorian England by his description and the scenes with the spirits’ visits or truly understand how miserly Scrooge really is.
To learn about literary devices and so much more, A Christmas Carol is the perfect novel to do a literary analysis on many levels. And, to help you do that, I have an online self-paced course that supplies all the teaching and materials (except the novel) you need for a thorough and fun novel study – A Christmas Carol Novel Study with a Christian Worldview.
Fun Video Lessons and Printables about Literary Devices and Figurative Language using a Christmas Theme
I am very excited to share with you my first video lessons and printables about figurative language and literary devices I am offering for free. These videos review the terms and definitions for common literary devices and figurative language and provide practice in identifying them in two fun Christmas themed written pieces.
The first video reviews the terms, definitions, and examples of “imagery”, “similes”, “metaphors”, “personification”, “alliteration”, and “hyperbole”. You can print out the printables to follow along with the video or review and practice later on your own.
