__***TRY THIS- FOR STUDENTS **__ *

The past few weeks in class we have been listening to and discussing songs that have many literary devices in them, for example: Iyaz- Replay (Simile/Metaphor), Black Eyed Peas- Boom Boom Pow (Onomonopia), etc. Now it is time for you to put yourself to the test!

Directions: 1. Post APPROPRIATE song lyrics to the discussion board. Please only post the lyrics. 2. After the lyrics please skip a line then write: FIND THE LITERARY DEVICES IN THIS SONG: 3. Then Save your post!

4. The next person who visits the discussion board will then comment to your post by saying what literary devices they found in the lyrics and in what lines. 5. After this person comments on your post they can then post their own song lyrics along with: FIND THE LITERARY DEVICES IN THIS SONG: 6. Hopefully this discussion can keep going and we can see how many lyrics/literary devices we can find!


 * I started a discussion post with lyrics so let's see who can find the literary devices and what lines they are in!**
