How to Complete the Scavenger Hunt Items

Each unit will have four or five tasks assigned to you in the Scavenger Hunt forum. You will be expected to locate specifice literary devices or techniques and demonstrate your understanding of them within a post in the forum.

Literary devices are techniques [foreshadowing, flashback, point-of-view], elements [protagonist, conflict, setting] or figures of speech [metaphor, simile, personification, onomatopoeia] a text creator uses to enhance his or her text. If you are unfamiliar with this terminology, you may wish to find more about these by conducting an internet search.

One place to find definitions of various literary terms is here: http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/lit_terms/
For some more information on literary elements or techniques: http://english.learnhub.com/lesson/4025-literary-devices

Once you have found one of the items within a text of the unit, click this icon in the discussion forum:


A new window will open. Below the directions will be the space for you to enter the information that completes the assigned task.

The Subject of your post should contain enough information about your post so that others will know what they will be reading. "A Stereotypical Character from 'The Novitiate'" would be a good example.

Your post will be placed in the text box 'Message'. Be sure to edit well, this is for marks remember!
