60-second Quick Read

  • Students analyse rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, repetition and sensory or figurative imagery and connect these choices to mood, pace, emphasis and theme.
  • Example: Sound works through performance and stress, not spelling alone. Explain the choice within its line, stanza or narrative moment.
  • Common trap: Rhyme considered the only sound device. Analyse stress, repetition and internal sounds.
