a. locate the sound devices in the poem/s;
b. give the pattern of the sound devices in the poem/s; and
c. use sound devices in writing a poem.

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Idioms (Idiomatic Expressions)
Tools: PowerPoint, whiteboard, marker, notebook
Values: Individuality, comprehension, and creativity
References: Enjoying Reading 4; English Links 4; and Developing Reading and Language Skills

III. Lesson Proper

A. Pretask
1. Introduction
Activity: Previously in Reading…
There will be a review of their previous topic. The teacher will ask questions that the students
need to ponder on.
“Going back to our previous discussion, let’s ponder on the following questions.”
a. What did we discuss last meeting? What can you say about Main Idea?
b. What is the difference between Main Idea and Theme?
c. What have you learned from that discussion?

2. Creative Entry Point

Activity: Fast, faster, fastest!
Directions: The teacher will play a video that is about Peter Piper. After playing the video,
they need to unmute their microphones and say the Tongue Twister with the music
accompaniment. This activity will enable them to have a hint of the topic and will also help
them to practice their speaking skill.
  How was it everyone?
 Was it hard?
 Based on our activity, what do you think is our topic for today?

B. Discussion

Sound Devices Definition

Sound devices are literary elements used in prose and poetry to stress certain sounds and
create musical effects.

Types of Sound Devices in Poetry

 ALLITERATION

Alliteration is a poetic technique or literary stylistic device where a series of words in a sentence
have the same first consonant sound. In other words: alliteration is when the beginning sound of words
is repeated in close succession. For example:
Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers
Alliteration is focused on the sound of a word and not the letters in the word. So for example, “k”
and “c” could both be used alliteratively (cherry cookies in the kitchen). Words do not need to be directly
next to each other in the sentence to be alliteration.
Apart from tongue twisters like “She sells sea-shells down the sea-shore”, alliteration examples
can be found in poems, song lyrics, and even popular business or brand names.
Examples:
 All Adam ate in August was apples and almonds.
 Barry bought a book to bring to the backyard barbecue.
 Come and clean your closet, Kevin.
 David’s dog drunk dirty water down by the dam.

 This time, it’s your turn to look and identify the alliteration in the following examples. For you to
easily get it, read through the examples, believe and try to hear the repeating consonant sounds.
Identifying Alliteration – Examples

 Even elephants enjoy eating eggs every day.

 My friend foolishly forgot to take the first photo in France.
 The gentle giant jumped with joy.
 Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
 Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer rose rapidly to the roof.

Importance of Alliteration
 Alliteration is very important in poetry and prose and can be used to make poems and text more
interesting, attractive, and memorable.

Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said this butter is bitter;
if I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter,
but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.

everyone?
 Where is our focus every time we will discuss Alliteration? Is it on the words or sounds?
 What do you think is the relationship of this lesson to our life? Or in other words, what is the
importance of learning this topic in your life?

C. Post-task
1. Application
Activity: Describing Things using Alliteration
Directions: In the example below, note that both the describing word and the name of the
thing start with the same sound.

Example: shiny shoes

Use the alliteration to describe the following. (20 items)

2. Evaluation
Directions: Watch and memorize the steps in the video “It’s a Beautiful Day”. Next week, I will
be grouping you into 4 and you need to present it. Make sure to spot the alliteration used in
the video.
