Some Links: Wikipedia's index of literary terms Lisgar's list of literary terms U Vic's literary terms list

==== //[|This U Vic site] has terms by category. Is there a way we could tag our terms by category? Reply below this entry on this page with ideas:// ==== Possibly make pages of the categories and then fill them with the appropriate terms via copy and paste? - Trevor
 * ~ Here's a table for putting ideas about how to categorize our literary term entries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ||
 * Use the U Vic site categories: Narrative genres, rhetorical language: sub categories: figures of speech, figures of thought, poetic tools, general literary terms? ||

In the pages that follow, begin a page with a literary term as its title, research the term.
 * describe the literary term in **YOUR OWN WORDS**
 * give **YOUR OWN EXAMPLE** of the literary term
 * include links to where you found your information
 * Initial the entry so that the author can get credit
 * if you find an error on a page, strike it out and add a correction in a different colour (**DO NOT** erase it)
 * if you read a page and don't understand, begin a discussion thread asking for clarification. Authors are responsible for clarifying their own unclear work

You get credit for entries you write, correction you make, and discussions you have. You'll also lose credit for incorrect use of classtime if in the lab.
