Alliteration

Alliteration is the use of the same consonant sounds in words that are near each other. It is the sound, not the letter, that is important: therefore ‘candy’ and ‘Cindy’ do not alliterate, but ‘cool’ and ‘kids’ do.

Betty Botter by Mother Goose

Betty Botter bought some butter,
but, she said, the butter’s bitter;
if I put it in my batter
it will make my batter bitter,
but a bit of better butter
will make my batter better.So she bought a bit of butter
better than her bitter butter,
and she put it in her batter
and the batter was not bitter.
So ’twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

Order of Adjectives

Adjectives are describing words. If I say "John is playing with a blue ball." then the word "blue" describes the colour of the ball.

Write a poem by repeating the first line but each time adding another adjective.

For example:

On my way to the zoo I saw a bear.
It was a brown bear.
It was an ugly, brown bear
It was a wild, ugly, brown bear
It was an angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
It was a hungry, angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
It was an escaped, hungry, angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
And it wanted to eat me!

Now create your own start sentence and get creative (If you’re stuck, use the sentence about John)
