English Language Arts and Literacy | Grade : 4

Strand - Writing

Cluster - Text Types and Purposes

[W.4.3.f] - For poems, use patterns of sound (e.g., rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, consonance) and visual patterns (e.g., line length, grouped lines as stanzas or verses) to create works that are distinctly different from prose narratives. (See grade 4 Reading Literature Standard 5.)

Resources:


  • Alliteration
    Repetition of initial consonant sounds in words: for example, in rough and ready. Like assonance, consonance, and rhyme, alliteration is often used to create a musical quality in language, to emphasize certain words, or to unify a poem or song.
  • Consonance
    Repetition of consonant sounds within and at the ends of words: for example, in lonely afternoon. Like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme, consonance is often used to create a musical quality in language, to emphasize certain words, or to unify a poem or song.
  • Narrative
    Is designed to relate events or experiences; may be primarily imaginative, as in a short story or novel, or primarily factual, as in a newspaper account or a work of history.
  • Narrative
    Is designed to relate events or experiences; may be primarily imaginative, as in a short story or novel, or primarily factual, as in a newspaper account or a work of history.
  • Poem/poetry
    Creative response to experience reflecting a keen awareness of language, often characterized by a rhyme scheme or by rhythm far more regular than that of prose.
  • Prose
    Writing or speaking in the usual or ordinary form, in contrast with poetry or spoken word.
  • Rhyme
    Similar sounds in accented syllables: for example, The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain; Jack and Jill went up the hill.
  • Rhythm
    Pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. Poets use rhythm to bring out the musical quality of language, to emphasize ideas, to create mood, to unify a work, and/or to heighten emotional response.
  • Verse
    Unit of poetry such as a stanza or line.
