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.
