How to Create Personification in Writing

  • Hey Kids!  Here is an easy way to create personification in your writing!

    1. What is it?  Name?
    2. What is its role in your story?
    3. What does it look like?
    4. How does it move?
    5. What does it do in your story?
    6.  What might it say?

    EX:

    1.  death, Finatis
    2.  represents evil
    3.  bloody, sinister, wears a hooded robe
    4.  slowly, defiantly, sometimes floats
    5.  hovers over children, wails, moans
    6.  pronounces eternal darkness for children

    Finatis, looking sinister in his hooded robe, moved slowly and defiantly over the children of Bosnia; as he hovered about them, he wailed his pronouncement of eternal darkness.
