Teachers, save “Alliteration” to assign it to your class.

Today we are learning about alliteration. Alliteration happens when words that start with the same sound (not just the same letter) are used repeatedly in a phrase or sentence. The sound is usually a consonant (all of those letters that are NOT vowels - a, e, i. o, u), and the words don't have to be right next to one another. Work your way through the activity by following the instructions on each page carefully. Have a look at the definitions and examples attached. LI: I am learning that poets play with the sounds in words to create an atmosphere or mood in their poem. SC: I can explain what alliteration is I can identify alliteration in a poem I can identify a repeating beginning sound I can give an example of alliteration.
