Homework RIU sound devices poem using 5 vocabulary words.

Lesson Essential Question What are sound devices commonly used in poetry and what is their

impact on the text?

Warm UpNumber 1-10 in your notes. I will hold up a picture which illustrates one of the words from your Rev It Up list. Look carefully at the picture and write

the vocabulary word that you think it represents.

One of the major differences between poetry and other genres of literature is that it SOUNDS different.

Can you think of some techniques used by an author that contribute to a poem's SOUND?

5 types of sound devices***Hint...first, remember the 3 R's***

rhyme

rhythm

repetition

onomatopoeia alliteration

rhyme

the repetition of sounds at the end of wordsexample: sun, run

rhythm

the musical quality created by the alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry.

example: I like to go out in the sunI jump and dance and scream and run

repetition

the technique in which a sound, word, phrase or line is repeated for emphasis or unity.

example: The sun, the sun, the sun, the sun, The reason summer's so much fun.

onomatopoeia

words whose sounds echo their meanings.

examples:

alliteration

the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. Sounds, NOT letters!!!

example: The sun, such a bright sight to see, Every morning in full glory.

Now let's look at some examples of these sound devices in 3 poems...

Eight BalloonsWhat's This? Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout

Eight Balloons

Eight balloons no one was buyin' AAll broke loose one afternoon. BEight balloons with strings a-flyin', AFree to do what they wanted to. BOne flew up to touch the sun - POP! COne thought highways might be fun - POP! C One took a nap in a cactus pile - POP! DOne stayed to play with a careless child - POP! DOne tried to taste some bacon fryin' - POP! One fell in love with a porcupine - POP! One looked close in a crocodile's mouth - POP! One sat around 'til his air ran out - WHOOSH! Eight balloons no one was buyin' - They broke loose and away they flew, Free to float and free to fly And free to pop where they wanted to.

What's This? by Helen Ksypka

It's gunky goo, a slimy stew Aof runny, drippy glop Bor mucky mounds of icky, sticky, C greasy, grimy slop. B

It's heaps of slush - a mass of mush Dor gobs of gluey lumps, Eunappetizing drops and plops Bof culinary clumps. E

It sometimes, too, is hard to chewwhen brittle as a brick, cuisine that has a dose of gross - enough to make you sick.

With every clue I've given you, I'm sure you have a hunch. It's what they have the nerve to serveat school and call it "lunch."

SARAH CYNTHIA SYLVIA STOUT - Shel Silverstein

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not take the garbage out! She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans, Candy the yams and spice the hams, And though her daddy would scream and shout, She simply would not take the garbage out. And so it piled up to the ceilings: Coffee grounds, potato peelings, Brown bananas, rotten peas, Chunks of sour cottage cheese. It filled the can, it covered the floor, It cracked the window and blocked the door With bacon rinds and chicken bones, Drippy ends of ice cream cones, Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel, Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal, Pizza crusts and withered greens, Soggy beans and tangerines, Crusts of black burned buttered toast, Gristly bits of beefy roasts. . . The garbage rolled on down the hall, It raised the roof, it broke the wall. . .

Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs, Globs of gooey bubble gum, Cellophane from green baloney, Rubbery blubbery macaroni, Peanut butter, caked and dry, Curdled milk and crusts of pie, Moldy melons, dried-up mustard, Eggshells mixed with lemon custard, Cold french fried and rancid meat, Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat.

At last the garbage reached so high That it finally touched the sky. And all the neighbors moved away, And none of her friends would come to play. And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said, "OK, I'll take the garbage out!" But then, of course, it was too late. . . The garbage reached across the state, From New York to the Golden Gate. And there, in the garbage she did hate, Poor Sarah met an awful fate, That I cannot now relate Because the hour is much too late. But children, remember Sarah Stout / And always take the garbage out!
