Advanced Alliteration and Consonance

Part 5 of Fancier Figurative Language

🔓 This is an unlocked sample! Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
 
 

Objective

Students will learn to go beyond the typical, silly use of alliteration to create interesting examples based on patterns from Shakespeare.

Steps

  1. Students work on writing sentences that gently sprinkle in alliteration rather than dump it on every word.
  2. Then we introduce consonance, where the same sound repeats at the beginning, middle, and/or end of words. Alliteration is actually a specific type of consonance.
