**Parts of Speech **
**yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ** **Alliteration** is a term that describes a literary stylistic device. Alliteration occurs when a series of words in a row (or close to a row) have the same first consonant sound. Aside from tongue twisters, alliteration is also used in poems, song lyrics, and even store or brand names.

Our students enjoyed creating their very own Alliteration!

They used the Internet to find words that start with letter the same letter that is used to spell their first name. Next, they worked independently to create their first tongue-twister. After completing the writing portion of the assignment, they googled images to help illustrate their tongue-twister. Finally, they created a slideshow and then we had a show-and-tell presentation.
