Exploring Alliteration: Engaging Activities for Students

This lesson plan focuses on the literary device of alliteration to enhance students' writing skills. Begin with a warm-up session, where students read a sample poem, "Paul Revere’s Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, to listen for alliteration. Discuss the definition and significance of alliteration in writing. Students will then engage in hands-on activities where they underline examples of alliteration and complete sentences with their own creative phrases. Finally, students can select a tongue twister to illustrate, reinforcing their understanding through visual art.
