Literary terms are important tools in Grade 12 English Literature. They help us understand texts better.

By learning these key concepts, students can think more deeply about the works they read. This boosts their analysis skills and helps them appreciate the author's craft.

What Are Literary Terms?

• Imagery: This helps us create strong pictures in our minds. It adds to the themes and the feelings we get from a text.
• Symbolism: This lets readers find deeper meanings in the story that go beyond just the words.
• Metaphor: This helps us make comparisons that connect different ideas together.

Statistics show how important these terms are:

• A study found that 65% of students who use literary terms in their analysis score at least 10% higher on literature tests.
• Also, 73% of teachers believe that knowing literary terms makes it easier for students to interpret what they read.

Using literary terms changes reading from something we do passively to something we actively think about.
