Instructional Ideas
- Include in your unit about figurative language and poetic elements
- Have kids use the lines they come up with in a freestyle poem, reordering the stanzas as they wish
- See who can come up with the longest example of continuous alliteration
- Encourage inspired writers to exchange the given adjectives for their own ideas
Classroom Considerations
- You'll need to provide more support for the section where kids create their own alliteration
- The language for the last question may be a little advanced for younger learners, but they could still complete it with some rewording
Pros
- Provides an adjective for each letter so that kids only need to think of a matching noun
- A straightforward activity to either introduce or review alliteration
Cons
- None
