How to teach Literary Elements

Using Identifying Literary Elements Activity, students find examples of text features and story elements to build their reading comprehension.

Story Elements are the most important pieces of a book. Being able to determine the literary elements in a poem will help your students to figure out the meaning of the story.

Choose a poem, a play, and a story. Next, fill in the provided literary elements cards with details from the literary pieces that seem the most fitting. Then, cut them out and sort them into piles, depending on what kind of writing they describe best.
