Techniques & Figurative Language Test
SOUND TECHNIQUES
How do writers use sound techniques in poetry?
What is rhyme?
Words sound alike because they share the same ending vowel and consonant sounds.
(A word always rhymes with itself.)
LAMP STAMP
Share the short “a” vowel soundShare the combined “mp” consonant sound
What is a Rhyming Poem?
*A line is a single row of words in a poem. A rhyming poem is a verse poem that
contains rhyming words at the end of certain lines.
Example: Night time by Lee Bennet Hopkins
How do dreams knowwhen to creepinto my headwhen I fall offto Sleep?
END RHYME
A word at the end of one line rhymes with a word at the end of another line
Hector the Collector Collected bits of string.
Collected dolls with broken heads And rusty bells that would not ring.
RHYME SCHEME
A rhyme scheme is a pattern of rhyme (usually end rhyme, but not always).
Use the letters of the alphabet to represent sounds to be able to visually “see” the pattern. (See next slide for an example.)
SAMPLE RHYME SCHEME The Germ by Ogden Nash
A mighty creature is the germ, Though smaller than the pachyderm.
His customary dwelling place Is deep within the human race.
His childish pride he often pleases By giving people strange diseases. Do you, my poppet, feel infirm? You probably contain a germ.

What is alliteration?
When two or more words in a poem begin with the same letter or sound
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
ALLITERATION
Sheila Shorter sought a suitor;Shelia sought a suitor short.Sheila’s suitor’s sure to suit her;Short’s the suitor Sheila sought!
by Michael Rosen
ALLITERATION
Down the slippery slide they slid
Sitting slightly sideways;
Slipping swiftly see them skid
On holidays and Fridays.
ALLITERATION
A fly and a flea flew up in a flue.Said the fly to the flea, “What shall we do?”“Let’s fly,” said the flea.“Let’s flee,” said the fly.So they fluttered and flew up a flaw in the flue.
What is repetition?
Repeated words or phrases Repetition of sounds, words, and ideas
adds to the power and precision of poetry. Sometimes the first line of the poem is
repeated at the end. Sometimes a word or phrases is repeated
within the poem to enhance the rhythm.
REPETITIONGive me the splendid silent sun with all its beams full-dazzling,Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,Give me a field where the unmowed grass grows,Give me an arbor, give me the trellised grape,Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content.Give me nights perfectly quiet as on high plateaus west of the Mississippi, and I am looking up at the stars.Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
by Walt Whitman
What is onomatopoeia?
Words that imitate the sound they are naming

LITERARY DEVICES
How do writers use literary devices in poetry?
What is figurative language? A tool that an author uses to help the reader
visualize what is happening in a story or poem Some common types are: simile, metaphor,
personification, and imagery.
What is a simile?
A comparison using “like” or “as” It usually compares two dissimilar objects.
“She is as beautiful as a sunrise.”
What is a metaphor? States that one thing is something else. It is a comparison, but it does NOT use
“like” or “as” to make the comparison.
“All the world’s a stage, and we are merely players.”- William Shakespeare
What is personification?
Giving human qualities, feelings, actions, or characteristics to an inanimate (non-living) object (thing, idea, or animal).
PERSONIFICATION
Ex: “The window winked at me.” The verb, wink, is a human action. A window is an inanimate object.
What is imagery? The use of vivid description, usually rich in sensory words,
to create pictures or images in the reader’s mind Most images are visual, but they can also appeal to the
senses of sound, touch, taste, or smell. Involves one or more of your five senses

IMAGERYexcerpt from The Mouse and the CakeEliza Cook
A mouse found a beautiful piece of plum cake,The richest and sweetest that mortal could make;‘Twas heavy with citron and fragrant with spice,and covered with sugar all sparkling as ice.
