ALLITERATIONS!
Creative Writing ✍
My 6th and 7th grade students had the opportunity to learn about alliterations. We read and analyzed the poem "Ebenezer Bleezer's ice cream store" by Jack Prelutsky, the students had to  identify the alliterations in the poem, then create their own ice cream flavors using only alliterations.
Check out theses amazing flavors created by some of my 6th and 7th graders!  ✍ 🎨

Students were asked to brainstorm a list of words that rhyme with "Kite" then create a poem using words ending with ite or ight. This poem was written by one of my 6th grade students. ~Noura T.~
In the Night!
In the night, he came, bright light in his eyes, with the might of a thousand stars in the night. Was it real? Was it true?  Or did my sight deceive me?  My knight in shining armor was polite and tall in height. With a glimmer in his eyes he took my hand and my heart took flight. In the twilight we flew all day and all night for now my life was right. Well... not quite! I need one more thing, HEY YOU WHERE'S MY SPRITE?

Given the writing prompt what would the Hamilton chickens say if they could talk? I asked the students to write a funny skit or comic strip about the Hamilton chickens.
