These are often called poetic devices.
They enhance (make better) reading poems and poetry
because they make them sound better.
Remember that these are sound tools.

The right answer was 13…
• Pete Mullineux wrote this poem when he was 13.
• It started as a homework assignment and eventually found
it’s way into poetry books!
• So, you never know what will happen with the work you do!
• Anyone of you could be a poet 
Homework!
• Pick 4 things you can see around you now, for example: a
chair, desk, laptop, lamp, books, dog, window, etc.
• Write a sentence about your object using alliteration.
• Remember alliteration is the repeated use of the same
consonant sound at the beginning of two or more words in a
sentence. It does not need to be the whole sentence.
• Submit your work onto Google Classroom.
Thank you all for coming to class today,
