UNIT I: LESSON 1- SOUND DEVICES

(Onomatopoeia, Alliteration,
Assonance)

In this lesson, learners will be able to analyze sound devices. It is


important to evaluate the statements carefully so that the pupils may be
able to analyze and identify which Sound Device is present in the
statement.
TIPS
Sound devices are resources used by poets to convey and
reinforce the meaning or experience of poetry through the skillful use of
sound. After all, poets are trying to use a concentrated blend of sound
and imagery to create an emotional response. The words and their
order should evoke images, and the words themselves have sounds,
which can reinforce or otherwise clarify those images. All in all, the poet
is trying to get you, the reader, to sense a particular thing, and the use of
sound devices are some of the poet’s tools.
Sound Devices include:
1. Onomatopoeia
2. Alliteration
3. Assonance

At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

IV. Development of Content, Skills and Understanding

Sound Devices
Onomatopoeia is when a word’s pronunciation imitates its
sound.
Example:
I could hear the crowd murmur as the news spread.
Alliteration happens when words that start with the same
sound are used close together in a phrase or sentence. The
sound is usually a consonant and the words don’t have to
always be right next to one another.
- One of the fun features of alliteration is when it becomes a
tongue twister.
Example:
She could feel her son’s sweet smell of success.
Assonance takes place when two or more words close to one
another repeat the same vowel sound but start with different
consonant sounds.
Example:
The silken tent.

LET’S TRY
Directions: Draw a sun ( ) if the sentence is an
onomatopoeia, moon ( ) if alliteration and
star ( ) if assonance.
_____1. Daryl gargled the mouthwash.
_____2. “If I bleat when I speak it’s because I just got . . . fleeced.”
– Deadwood by Al Swearengen
_____3. Go and gather the green leaves on the grass.
_____4. Vince gulped down the Mountain Dew.
