Perfect Rhyme, Slant Rhyme, Internal Rhyme, "Shooter"

In your notebook, under the title Slant/Perfect Rhyme, create lists of perfect and slant rhymes for the following words: WONDER, BROWN, TOPIC.  A perfect rhyme has exact vowel sounds with different consonant sounds (rink/wick, gratitude/latitude).  A slant rhyme has a change either in the vowel sounds or the consonant sounds (how/row, lovely/funny).

Examples: WONDER (under-perfect rhyme; ponder-slant rhyme)

As a class, we watched the short slam poem A Love Letter from the Toothbrush to the Bicycle Tire and discussed the literary and poetic devices we could find within that poem.

I passed out a copy of the transcript to Shooter (from Louder than a Bomb).  The assignment is to annotate it and answer the questions.  Get a copy from me ASAP.  

DUE DATES: The Lit. Terms handout is due when we return on Tuesday; the "Shooter" assignment is due Wednesday.
