  1. Poetry Devices May 27, 2008

  2. Alliteration • Definition - the repetition of initial consonant sounds; doesn’t mean just the same letter. • EX: The wonderful, wooly and wide caterpillar wound his way through the woods.

  3. Onomatopoeia • Ah-na-ma-toe-pee-ah • Definition - words that sound like what they mean, as in “bang” or “slap”. • EX: buzz!, boom!, whoosh!

  4. Creating Words That Are Fun to Say • With a partner, take some time and create an “Alliteration Word List” in your poetry notebook. • Include all the words that you like hearing and saying because they roll off your tongue. (One of mine is hemoglobin.)

  5. Onomatopoeia List • Try to create a list of 5 words that would fit into the onomatopoeia category.

  6. Poetry Writing • After creating your lists, write some poetry. • All of you will present a poem Thursday (some in this class, some in the AP Lit class).
