  1. Poetic devices #3 Assonance, consonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, repetition

  2. Alliteration • Alliteration: The repetition of the beginning consonant sound of words close together • ex. Peter Piper Picked a peck of pickled peppers • Sally sells seashells by the sea shore

  3. Assonance • Assonance: the repetition of a vowel sound in words close together • Ex. The sailor said “Hey” to MaeToday • He received three beans for his cow

  4. Consonance • Consonance: the repetition of internal or ending consonant sounds in words close together • Ex. Peter licked the peanut butter right off the spoon

  5. Practice!  • You have two minutes to write an example of either assonance or consonance • tip: choose the vowel or consonant that you want to repeat first, then choose the words in the sentence

  6. Sound devices vs. rhyme scheme? • The Rhyme scheme: describes a pattern in the sounds at the end of multiple lines Ex. I ran down the beach pulling a kite When it was finally up, OH! What a sight! • Sound devices are patterns that occur within the same line or all through multiple lines (not just at the end) ex. the sight of the spiderbymyrighthand Caused such fright, I stuck my head in the sand

  7. Onomatopoeia • Onomatopoeia: an onomatopoeic word sounds the same as what it is trying to represent • ex. gurgle, grumble (think about the sounds your stomach makes when hungry) • Animal noises: woof, meow, ribbit, cock-a-doodle-doo, hiss

  8. More examples of onomatopoeic words • Bobby Darin Song: Splish splash • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUWyODR1_sA

  9. Repetition • Repetition: in poetry, repetition refers to repeating words or phrases to emphasize an idea Ex. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.

  10. Repetition ex. 2 • From “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe • Hear the sledges with the bells - Silver bells!What a world of merriment their melody foretells!How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,In the icy air of night!While the stars that oversprinkleAll the heavens seem to twinkleWith a crystalline delight;Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme,To the tintinnabulation that so musically wellsFrom the bells, bells, bells, bells,Bells, bells, bells - From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

  11. Excerpt from “Parts” by Ted Arnold"I just don't know what's going on Or why it has to be. But every day it's something worse. What's happening to me? I think it was three days ago I first became aware-- That in my comb were caught a couple Pieces of my hair. I stared at them, amazed, and more Than just a bit appalled To think that I was only five And starting to go bald!"

  12. Practice!  • Using a variety of sound devices, create a new tongue twister that is at least 4 lines long or Using a variety of sound devices, Write the first 8 lines of a children’s book about 2 animals of your choice
