Lesson outcome
I can improve a piece of descriptive writing inspired by the painting 'The Execution of Lady Jane Grey' by making effective use of alliteration, plosives and sibilance.
Show transcript
Alliteration is when two or more words start with the same consonant.
A writer makes use of plosives when they use the letters 'p', 't', 'k', 'b', 'd' or 'g' for effect.
Sibilance is the repeated use of the letter 's' for effect.
Alliteration, plosives and sibilance can be a sophisticated way to create a sense of sound.
