  1. What function does rhyme serve in poetry?

  2. Free Verse How does one unify the ideas and images in a poem without using rhyme?

  3. How do sound elements… • Create unity from line to line & stanza to stanza? • Influence the poet’s meaning? • Effect the reader’s emotional response?

  4. ALLITERATION ALLITERATION occurs when two or more words share the same BEGINNING CONSONANT sounds: Have hiss her hill Note: “Honor” is NOT an example of alliteration in this example. Alliteration is concerned with the SOUND and not the letter itself. Warning: Alliteration does NOT use vowels. The repetition of vowel sounds at the beginning, middle or end of a word is a different device.

  5. Directions: • Look at the picture that follows. Come up with as many lines as you can concerning the picture that utilize ALLITERATION. • NOTE that you can add ideas that aren’t in the picture, as long as they make sense in context. • Remember: Not every word has to start with the same letter, but enough words should be used for the alliteration to be obvious. • When time’s up, count how many words you have that use alliteration. • The winner gets a prize (yes, it’s food)!

  6. Use the letter “C”

  7. CHALLENGE: “M”

  8. ASSONANCE Assonance occurs when two or more words share the same VOWEL sounds. Assonance differs from rhyme in that the words DO NOT SHARE THE EXACT SAME ENDINGS, even if they share some similar consonants: case racy bait labor Note: “Fat” is NOT an example of assonance in this example. Assonance is concerned with the vowel SOUND and not the letter itself.

  9. Directions: • You will each receive a paper with a word written on one side and a letter written on the other. For now, concern yourself with the word side only. • Your job is to find four other people who share the VOWEL SOUND in your word. When you find them, join your desks together and wait for further instructions. • The first group that successfully completes this task receives a “prize.” (YES, it’s food)

  10. CONSONANCE Consonance occurs when two or more words contain the same CONSONANT sounds in the MIDDLE or END of the word. Consonance differs from rhyme in that the words DO NOT SHARE THE SAME ENDINGS, even if they share some similar vowel sounds: case racy fist peaceful master Note: “Please” is NOT an example of consonance in this example. Consonance is concerned with the consonant SOUND and not the letter itself.

  11. Directions: • Turn your paper over and find the letter written on the opposite side. • On the scrap paper provided, one member of your team should write a word that contains that letter somewhere in the MIDDLE or END of the word.

  12. Directions (Cont’d) • Then, pass the letter to the person closest to you. That person should add a word to your list that uses consonance. While the timer ticks, pass the list around as quickly as you can to each member of your group, who should continue to build your list. • The team with the MOST words that use consonance wins (yes, food)! Note: You may NOT use words that START with the letter. All words that RHYME with another word on the list will be DISQUALIFIED.

  13. Example (v):6 points • Fever • Levitate • Rivet • Live X Doesn’t count; rhymes with give • Arrive • Invite • Give • Vest X Doesn’t count; starts with “V”

  14. ONOMATOPOEIA Onomatopoeia occurs when a word imitates the sound it describes. sizzle rattle pow moo crunch buzz tap shriek Onomatopoeia can also be more subtle. It can be a word whose sound somehow illustrates its meaning (even though the word itself isn’t necessarily connected to sound). Flash slither flicker
