The first thing we are going to do today is play the Alliteration Game.

Day 4- Assonance

You remember alliteration, right? Well, assonance is very similar to alliteration.  Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in the middle of words.

Examples:

It beats... as it sweeps... as it cleans!  (Hoover vaccuum slogan)  The "ee" sound is repeated.

The silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain....  Edgar Allen Poe

Open your figurative language journal:
  •  Date it, and title the page ASSONANCE.  
  • Write down the definition and three examples you make up or find on your own.  
  • Choose one of them to illustrate.

    assonance in your Journal.
