Some definitions for literary terms that we have covered and a few we have not:

Persona is a literary device. It is the voice assumed by a writer, not necessarily his or her own. Persona reflects the author's attitude toward the reader.

Allusion is a reference to another piece of literature, to a cultural or historical person, or to an event.

Conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces or characters.

Diction is a writer’s choice of words.

Syntax is the order in which a writer places words in a sentence, the order in which the writer reveals information.

Instructions:

2: Essential - standard and accurate, but requires elaboration

1: Emerging Ability - seeks or recognizes what accurate response requires
