Welcome to Use of Literary Device Webquest

Hello,


Welcome to the Use of Literary Devices WebQuest. Throughout this WebQuestion you will be learning literary device usage in prose and poetry of selected readings.  I will be providing links to websites on literary devices, videos, and selected readings. You will than be able to discuss and share you finding in a blog format.

Some of your parents may be asking what is a WebQuest.  The purpose is to engage students in inquiry-base learning experiences through a set of assigned tasks that lead to a conclusion or solution and or result in a product (Schrum & Levin, 2009,p.83).

Educational Value of Animoto

Literary Devices

Animoto is software that allows a user to create/edit a short video about a subject. A student could use the software to show what literary devices he/she found within a author text. A teacher could present literary device meaning through the use of pictures and text in the video provide visual understanding to the student. I find it a great tool to be used.
