How to use them

  1. Choose the band that fits your class, then add others for display across the department.
  2. Put the story mountain next to your writing display so pupils can plan their own stories.
  3. Use the language toolbox as a hunt: ask pupils to find one example of each device in their reading book.
  4. Keep the PEEL poster visible during essay practice and refer to it when marking.
  5. Use the analysis terms poster as a revision aid: cover the definitions and ask pupils to explain each term.

About these posters

Key Stage 1 has a poster on what every story has and a set of book words. Key Stage 2 has the story mountain and a language toolbox covering simile, metaphor and more. Key Stages 3 and 4 have key terms for analysing literature and a poster on writing a PEEL paragraph. They use no set texts or quotations, so they suit any class. Each is written in our own words. Download A4 or A3 PDFs and print them for your classroom or library.
