Introduction

Lesson Six - Literary Terminology
Duration - 2 blocks (2 x 80 min + homework)

"Fortune favours the prepared mind" - Louis Pasteur 

In the first five lessons of this unit, all of the notes for ELA 10-1 have been presented.
It is not possible to commit all of the literary terms to memory, but memorizing a few of them will serve you well as you move through the quizzes in this course and most certainly on Part B of your final exam.

Lesson

Literary Terms Worth Memorizing . . .

The list of literary terms below are ones that should be part of your vocabulary – you will hear and read the terms (and examples) used on a daily basis.

The vast majority of these terms are guaranteed to appear on Part B of your ELA final exam. In a study conducted on twenty sittings of Part B exams, “irony” was found on 100%, “allusion”, “imagery”, “metaphor”, and “tone” on 75-99%, “context”, “contrast”, “mood”, “paradox”, “purpose”, “setting”, “symbol”, and “theme” on 50-74%, with the remainder appearing 25-49% of the time.

Of course, there are certainly other terms which will appear on Part B of your final exam, but in relatively low frequency. Committing these terms to memory will serve you well on the exam and in your daily life.
