The quickest route to guiding kids to identify and use literary elements in their writing is to show them examples in published books—but that takes lots of prep time. With this time-saving resource, the author provides 3 examples of an element on each transparency, and provides the questions to ask that help students recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each piece. Covers focus, details, voice, dialogue, leads, endings, and more. Significantly improves the quality of student writing. For use with Grades 3-6.
