What in the world is that?
Anagrams are words or phrases that
are formed by rearranging the letters
of another word or phrase.
*Just So You Know ;)
Some special anagrams
don't even require
rearrangement! You just
add/remove spaces and
punctuation! For instance,
have you ever noticed that
The IRS always thinks that
your stuff is theirs? 
Roots!
The word ANAGRAM comes P.S. Maybe these 2 roots
from the roots ANA, should be on our quiz on
meaning new, back, or Friday!
again, and GRAM, meaning
letter(s).
Anti-grams
Anti-grams are anagrams  
whose interpretation are
considered ironic, or
opposite of the subject. How
would one describe
FUNERAL? I don't think the
right answer would be REAL
FUN.
One word Anagrams
A single word is anagrammed into another single word.
A mother's first thought when a teenager brings up CARS is
usually SCAR.

 
More Special Anagrams!
Some anagrams are created perfectly by reversing the order
of the letters. Mommy, I really SAW him! He WAS right here!
Why would they be in literature?
You might be saying, "Sure they're fun in games like
scrabble, but how and why would they be used in literature?"
When a poet uses anagrams, it is genius and spontaneous!
Also, anagrams often carry hidden messages. Clint
Eastwood-> Old West Action. They are really funny and
creative. 
Activity

anagrams in the lyrics of :)
Anagrams by Rush at the
end of class gets candy.
