See It in Action!
In this lesson, we'll step it up! You'll see the use of personification and onomatopoeia in two original story excerpts and in an original poem. For each of these, you will see a "before" and "after" - you will see them without the use of figurative language, and then you'll see them with the tool(s). This way, you can easily see the difference it makes. 9 mins of video lessons
