# Literary Elements Word Search

In English Language Arts 30-1, you interpret and appreciate how text creators shape meaning through deliberate choices. This word search focuses on eight key literary concepts you will encounter when analyzing texts: the ways authors use language, structure and technique to create effect ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/46697), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/46702)). As you study literature, you will assess how elements such as imagery, archetype, satire, connotation, register, allusion, subtext and plausibility work together to develop theme and convey the text creator's stance ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/46697), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/46705)). Finding and identifying these terms reinforces the vocabulary you need for close reading and critical response.
