Hello I wanna say thank you so much I am going into year 11 in September, and am expected grade 8s and 9s, but my English teacher is an absolute nightmare and contradict himself every other lesson. Your videos have helped me so much and I greatly appreciate it!

25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained!
1. Pathetic Fallacy
Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood.
For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed
2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc…
2. Personification
Is when a non-human is given human qualities.
For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away.
3. Simile
When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’
For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye
4. Metaphor
Is when you are comparing two things with is or are
Example He is an orc
5. Extended Metaphor
Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor
Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same.
6. Oxymoron
2 opposite words side-by-side
Example, the small giant
7. Juxtaposition
You explain an oxymoron.
The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam.

For example, moon and the star represent Islam.
2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died.

For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID.

Guys also talk about the atmosphere or setting and what effect that has on the reader, like if it’s a tense or a calm atmosphere and why? what effect does that have on the reader (you)

Question 1 is 5 mins or less, you have to write down 4 pieces of implicit or explicit information based on what the question tells you what the information should be about.Some tips are to draw a line around the lines given from the question, you can use quotes, doesn’t have to be complicating just one peice of information at a time, do not make any assumptions or suggest anything because this is a sate question which will not reward any marks based on suggestions.

Question 2:Before actually start question 2 you may wanna underline/highlight the end of the sentence which is what you have to talk about or explain why, underline/highlight COULD (could means that the first and second bullet point is a must and the third is a could) make sure you know at least some obvious english language techniques which are obvious including:Simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, alliteration, imagery, CONTRAST(this is most important), consonant, (forgot last one), you can use others too now after you highlight some key bits, make sure to have at least 2-3 paragraphs you have 10-12 mins so analyse a quote from the beginning, middle and end to show of your skill to the marker, use embedded quotes to gain more marks i personally use peezl so point, evidence, effect, zoom and link make sure for each paragraph you say how this makes the reader feel even though its not asked in the question, if you can do more paragraphs.Use analogy and other features to convey your message use subjective terminology throughout.

Question 3:Question 3 is about (updating tomorrow)

Question 4:Question 4 is about

Question 5:Question 5 is about writing either a story or a descriptive peice of writing
