- Assessment
- Graphic & Image
- Join to access all included materials
Ask your class to lend their ears, and eyes, to a short video that defines and offers examples of synecdoche and metonymy. Whether it be brand names like Kleenex® and Band-aids® that have come to stand for all the products in a category, or an object that is associated with an act or event (give a hand to help out) the video offers clever examples of these metaphorical expressions. The video, the third of seven that examine literary terms and devices, can be viewed independently or shown with the others in the series.
