  1. Sound Devices Primarily used in poetry

  2. Alliteration • Using words closely together that begin with letters that make the same sound, or just begin with the same letter. (like tongue twisters) • They are used to add character to the writing and a little “fun” to the piece. • Example: The Wicked Witch of the West went her own way. • Example: Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore.

  3. Assonance • Repetition of vowel sounds within a sentence or phrase. • Similar to alliteration, but it is only vowel sounds. (not consonants – the repetition of consonants is called “consonance”) • Example: She sang a long song that sounded wrong. • Example: Late Kate slammed the gate cause she couldn’t wait.

  4. Rhyme Scheme • Rhyming words placed at the ends of lines in prose or poetry. • Can be in patterns like abab or aabb or abcb • Example: Roses are red (a) • Violets are blue (b) • Everybody loves me (c) • But I love you! (b)

  5. Rhythm • Pattern of rhymes that create a musical, gentle effect. • Example: • I’m a little teapot, short and stout • Here is my handle, here is my spout • When I get all steamed up, hear me shout • Tip me over and pour me out.

  6. Onomatopoeia • Words whose sound is very close to the sound they represent. • Examples: grunt, huff, buzz, snap • Example: The whispering of the forest trees…. The hum of a thousand bees…..The click of the door….
