Alliteration

Fun alliteration technique:

“A cup of copper coffee in a copper coffee cup.”

Have the class repeat the phrase after you (don’t write it down anywhere they can see it) and then let them practice for a moment.  Ask if anyone has mastered it and can they say it to the rest of the class.

Explain that it is an alliteration method and point out how it develops a natural rhythm (which is a really useful literary technique).
