4 English Literature Revision Ideas Re-read the text. There is no substitute for this. You will notice far more details on a second or third reading. Annotate and highlight your text. You could highlight key quotations about and by characters and how themes and messages are shown. Highlight and make note of: How each act/ chapter/poem starts and ends At least two or three key quotations for each character Make revision cards or notes. Have one for each character and theme. You could, for example on a character card have adjectives to describe the character, relationship with others, involvement links to theme, and a few short key quotes. Mind map the plot or make a flow chart of the plot. Use Bitesize: Colour code quotations according to theme. Make posters with key quotations. Re- write the plot. Devise a quiz for someone else with answers! Watch the film or BBC version. Plan sample responses. Study guides available through school will appear on Parentpay:

6 Alliteration Ambiguity Assonance Colloquial Connotation Diction Empathy Enjambment Figurative language Hyperbole Imagery Imperative Internal rhyme Irony Metaphor Metre Onomatopoeia Personification Protagonist Pun Rhyme Rhyme scheme Rhythm Satire Simile Sonnet Stanza Structure Symbol Proper noun Common noun Adjective Verb Adverb Literary Terminology The repetition of the same consonant sound, especially at the beginning of words Use of language where the meaning is unclear or has two or more possible meanings or interpretations. It could be created by a weakness in the writer s expression, but it is more likely it is a deliberate device used by the writer to create layers of meaning The repetition of similar vowel sounds Ordinary, everyday speech and language An implication or association attached to a word or phrase. It is suggested or felt rather than being explicit The choice of words a writer uses. Another word for vocabulary A feeling on the part of the reader of sharing the particular experience being described by the character or writer A line of verse that flows on into the next line without a pause Language that is symbolic or metaphorical and not meant to be taken literally Extreme exaggeration and is used to make a strong point. The use of words to create a picture or image in the mind of the reader. Images can relate to any of the senses, not just sight Imperative verbs are verbs which create a sentence that gives an order bossy verbs Rhyming words within a line rather than at the end of lines At its simplest level, it means saying one thing while meaning another. It occurs where a word or phrase has one surface meaning but another contradictory, possibly opposite meaning is implied. Irony is often confused with sarcasm. Sarcasm is spoken, relying on the tone of voice and is much more blunt than irony A comparison of one thing to another to make the description more vivid. The metaphor actually states that one thing is another. The regular use of unstressed and stressed syllables in poetry The use of words whose sounds copies the thing or process they describe The attribution of human feelings, emotions, or sensations to an inanimate object. Personification is a type of metaphor where human qualities are given to things or abstract ideas. The main character or speaker in a poem, monologue, play or story A play on words that have similar sounds but quite different meanings Corresponding sounds in words, usually at the end of each line, but not always The pattern of rhymes in a poem The movement of the poem as created through the meter and the way that language is stressed within the poem The highlighting or exposing of human failings or foolishness through ridiculing them. Satire can range from being gentle and light to extremely biting and bitter in tone The comparison of one thing to another in order to make the description more vivid A fourteen-line poem, usually with 10 syllables in each line. There are several ways in which the lines can be organised, but they often consist of an octave and a sestet The blocks of lines into which a poem is divided. [Sometimes these are, less precisely, referred to as verses, which can lead to confusion as poetry is sometimes called verse ] The way a poem or play or other piece of writing has been put together Like the use of images, symbols present things which represent something else. In very simple terms, a red rose can be used to symbolise love; distant thunder can symbolise approaching trouble. Symbols can be very subtle and multi-layered in their significance Names people or places Names things Describes a noun, gives more information about it Describes an action Describes a verb, gives more information about it.
