Greetings! Welcome to a new year!

For those students who want a head start on things, here is a list of poetry/literary terms/devices that we will be utilizing this year. We will be having a quiz on these terms in the first few weeks of school. You should be familiar with many of these devices already, and ideally utilizing this knowledge when you are evaluating what you read! I would get these printed off and put them in your English binder in order to access them often. These are fundamental tools in your reading toolbox.
