Miners Find the Rhythm

Tuesday, November 6th, Mrs. Gonzalez' 1st grade class at Seco Mines learned about alliteration. 
The students were be able to describe how alliteration and rhythm add meaning to a story. 
In literature, alliteration is the conspicuous repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in successive or closely associated syllables within a group of words, even those spelled differently. 
As a method of linking words for effect, alliteration is also called head rhyme or initial rhyme.
The Miners worked independently and with peers to edit sentences and create an alliterated writing piece using various nouns, verbs, and adjectives beginning with the same sound.
Go Miners!
