Personification
Level 1: Spot On: This exercise is about seeing whether you can spot examples of personification. You'll see a series of sentences with a section missing, and your task will be to fill the gap with a piece of personification. For each question, there'll be a list of words or expressions to choose from. However, only one of the words or expressions in the list will be an example of personification.
Level 2: Connect it: Here, your challenge is to bring inanimate objects alive using personification. You'll be able to choose an object and verbs from a series of lists to help you in this process. There are four subject areas to explore: weather, home, travel and nature.
Level 3: Inside Out: In this activity, you'll use a short video clip as a stimulus to write the beginning of a piece of fiction; there are fourteen to choose from. Each video will show you a number of inanimate objects that you can bring alive using personification.
