Alliteration, Assonance, Consonance: Sound Devices in Poetry for Secondary

If your students struggle with sound devices such as alliteration, assonance, and consonance, you are not alone. Correctly identifying these poses a real barrier to my 9th graders and using them in their poetry (using them well!) is even harder. I designed this lesson to address the skill directly. In this download, you will receive

• A slide for each term with definition, explanation, and examples

• A student worksheet focusing on identifying and applying these terms.

• An answer key

• CCSS alignment
