Welcome To Wiki!

     In the Hawaiian language, "wiki" means quick. This is a quick, interactive     site for English 9 students where they can view daily assignments including vocabulary, upload documents, and post written work. Always keep in mind that this public domain is an educational resource; therefore, students must not write anything they do not want their principal, guardians, and clergyman/woman to read. Inappropriate content will generate unpleasant consequences.

Please review our rules for using this site:

We will post quality work that is academically relevant.

We will respect the work of others.

We will post wiki assignments on the wiki and in no other form.

Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds, like this: Jackrabbits jump joyously for jelly beans. The sound being repeated is /j/.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds, like this: Eels creep in the deep blue sea. The sound being repeated is /ee/, found in eels, creep, deep, and sea. 

Remember, in both cases a sound is repeated, not a letter. Philosophical fish fry fritters on Fridays repeats the /f/ sound, found 4 times with the letter "f" and twice in the blend "ph".

Sometimes both alliteration and assonance can be found in a passage, such as The baboon balanced bananas on the bamboo branch. The alliteration here is the /b/ sound and the assonance is the /a/ in baboon, balanced, bananas, bamboo, branch.
