Read "Imagery" (444-451) and "Figures of Speech" ((451-457) in your AP English book. There will be an "accountability activity" on the literary devices introduced in this section. You should find around 15 literary devices and you should use whatever technique (flashcards, quizlet, flippy charts, Cornell notes) you need to learn them. When reading the poems in the section, you should be looking for examples of those devices and considering their effects on the poem. Most poems are followed by some good thinking questions. The "accountability activity" will be focused on the definitions of the terms, not information about the poems.
