YEAR 7 ENGLISH ASSONANCE, CONSONANCE AND ALLITERATION Sound in Poetry Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words. Consonance is the close repetition of consonant sounds at the ends of words or syllables. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words or syllables. *Note: all of these sound devices have similar sounds, not letters. City and search is an example of alliteration, while city and country is not. YEAR 7 ENGLISH TEACHING STRATEGIES Sound in Poetry 1. Presenting the importance of sound in poetry by introducing sounds in music and the emotions they provoke. Viewing a video with different styles of music playing in the background. Video: Tony Hawk Skateboarding Mute the music being played in the background of this video. Play A Night on Bald Mountain in background and get students to write down how the music makes them feel and what effect it has on the video being shown. Do the same activity with varying styles of music. These could include a slower acoustic track, like Mango Tree, or a fast-paced rock track, like The Pretender. Explain to students that just like music, the sound in poetry has an important effect on the mood and overall feeling of the poem 2. In pairs, students are to pick one of the following sounds to provoke a particular emotion or feeling. One student is to repeat the sound instead of saying any words. The listener must guess what kind of emotion is provoked. Sounds could include: ick sa asc may hm ni tee beh 3. Matching words according to alliteration, consonance and assonance.
