Handy foldout charts provide condensed rundowns of major topics in English and language arts. Content presentation varies from chart to chart, but frequent elements used include definitions of key words and terms, bulleted and numbered lists, and examples of topics discussed. For example, the Literary Terms chart looks at narrative, defines different figures of speech, breaks down the different elements of poetry, presents a history and overview of literary theory and criticism, and gives short explanations of literary forms, genres, movements, and periods. The charts make judicious use of color to separate the subjects covered and enhance readability. Grades 9–12. SparkNotes. 2–6 pages each.literaryterms SPARKCHARTS
