Here are some activities to use to help you to identify and study tropes:
Search the headlines--> Go to today's news headlines and see if you can find any tropes being used. Screenshot/take pics of any of the tropes you see being used, and identify these tropes.
Children's books--> Go to a children's book (or several) and see if you can find any tropes being used in these books. Screenshot/take pics of any of the tropes you see being used, and identify these tropes.
Comic books--> Go to a comic book and see if you can find any tropes being used. Screenshot/take pics of any of the tropes you see being used, and identify these tropes.
Scripting--> Write a conversation between two people where one is using hyperbole and the other is using litote to describe an ironic situation at a sporting event. Try to include an example of anthimeria and metonymy in the script as well. Identify the tropes you used.
Rant or Praise--> Write your own rant about a subject that bothers you or praise about a subject that makes you happy, and use as many tropes as you can within this rant or praise. Identify the tropes you used.
