3 New Language Features! (Onomatopoeia, Alliteration and Simile)

For the past few days, we've been learning in depth about language features
Firstly, Onomatopoeia is used as a language feature is used to give something a characteristic thought.
For example, the trees shook in the wind and hail pattered the tin gutter.

Secondly, Alliteration. Alliteration is a repetition of words and using the first letter of the word.
For example, snake, slithers, slides, slowly, smoothly, silently, smooth, sun, sand, scorched.

Lastly, Similes. A simile is a statement used to describe something by comparing it to something else.
For example, Mike's been busy as a bee.

We are learning these language features in able to use them to our next topic which is creative writing. These language features would help us to make our writing up to level 5 or 6 to prepare ourselves for NCEA next year.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
