This differentiated quotation analysis task requires students to look closely at quotes from chapters 14 to 18 of Louis Sachar’s novel Holes and pick out the figurative language, devices and techniques Sachar has used.

This is followed by the opportunity to analyse the quotations for meaning and impact.

There are three levels of differentiation within the lists of writing techniques included, plus a double sided worksheet of fifteen quotations. Answer key also included.

All versions come in both US letter and UK A4 document size.
