Amazing Actual Alliterative Adventures
December 11, 2012 | Posted in: Homework Assignments
Alliteration is a fun kind of figurative language in which most (maybe all) of the words in a sentence begin with the same sound. Here is an example:
Most monkeys mocked the mocha muffins Moss made.
Your homework tonight is to create an alliterative sentence of your own. Remember, you cannot use your own name or that of a classmate, but you can use other names. You could pick a random name or maybe write a sentence about Piney or a celebrity or someone else. Remember, though, you want to stick with ONE beginning sound for most words. (For example, a sentence like “Katy Perry kept passing killer pickles to calm patrons.” would not work because you are reusing TWO sounds – K and P – not just one. But “Katie Perry persuaded people to pack purple pullovers in pink pouches.” would be dandy!)
Remember, your sentence must be one that we can visualize. It can’t be a nonsensical mish-mosh of words that start with the same letter. It must make sense.
I think many of you already have a sentence ready. If you do this quickly, consider posting a second or even third sentence, or consider commenting (respectfully) on someone else’s post!
