Literary Terms Note Cards (Due Friday, April 18th)

Directions: Use index cards (or pieces of paper cut into the shape and size of index cards) to create flashcards for the following terms. Write the literary term on one side of the card and write the definition on the other side of the card. Bring these cards to class with you. Furthermore, using a sheet of computer paper (blank paper), create a grid of 30 squares (6 X 5). Fill in one term for each square (you are creating a bingo sheet for each of the terms).
