This resource focuses on the language techniques assonance, consonance and sibilance. The worksheet begins with an information box which explains the techniques, gives examples and explains their effect. This is followed by activities which focus on identifying the different techniques in a range of poetry extracts and matching or explaining the effect of each technique on the poem, such as the way they can increase aggression or change the pace of a poem.
The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and includes sample answers for a number of the worksheet tasks as well as some extra activities based on the techniques in advertising/branding and tongue twisters.
This resource is suitable for a high school audience. The worksheet is included in both Word and pdf formats to ensure no loss of detail.
