Aeh, Oh, and Ee

1. Point out the use of assonance in any poem you choose or in the following stanza:

I am the wind
that blows your window curtains
apart, the wind that blows the leaves
off the trees and onto the dry grass.

Anthony Mejia, age 13

2. Ask students (singly or in pairs) to go over a poem they’ve written, noting the use of assonance they find.

Lesson is from the WritersCorps book “Jump Write In!”
