Introduction

(5 minutes)

Use the Alliteration for Kids worksheet to introduce students to the content or review their prior knowledge.
Have students identify the alliteration in each of the sentences on the worksheet.
Allow volunteers to share their answers.
Tell students that alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.
Tell students that metaphors are analogies that compare two unlike things without using "like" or "as."
Have students identify the two things being compared and explain how they are similar.
Explain to students that in this lesson they will identify alliteration in various texts and create alliteration of their own.

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

(10 minutes)

Distribute copies of the Pesky Peter Piper worksheet.
Have students read the poem aloud.
Have students identify the sound that they hear the most. (They should say /p/.)
Remind students that alliterations repeat consonant sounds at the beginning of words.
Have students complete the second poem by filling in a new consonant that creates a new alliteration.
Tell students that this alliteration may not make sense, but it illustrates that the consonant or beginning letter.
Let students know that they just created an alliteration.
Allow them to create and read their second fill-in-the consonant alliteration if time permits.

Guided Practice

Have students work in pairs or small groups to complete the Alliteration worksheet.

Independent working time
