Introducing Alliteration - PowerPoint

English Teaching Resources have developed a dynamic PowerPoint presentation designed to introduce the concept of alliteration to students. This resource is complemented by engaging worksheets that encourage learners to explore and create alliterative sentences. The first worksheet presents a series of incomplete sentences, prompting students to choose from given options to complete each one with an alliterative word. For example, they might select a word to describe a frog that starts with the same letter or sound, adding a playful twist to the sentence "The _______________ frog jumped into the pond."

The second worksheet delves deeper into the use of alliteration by asking students to identify phrases that contain this literary device. Additionally, it challenges them to write their own alliterative sentences using a list of provided words, such as "lazy lion" or "timid turtle". This activity not only reinforces their understanding of alliteration but also stimulates their creativity in sentence construction. The words "slimy," "glistening," "sizzling," "wonderful," and "creeped" serve as starting points for students to craft sentences that showcase their grasp of alliteration, making the learning process both educational and enjoyable.
