Lesson outcome

I can use alliteration and onomatopoeia in a speech to highlight and emphasise key ideas.

Show transcript
Alliteration and onomatopoeia are both types of aural devices because they link to the sounds in a speech. Alliteration involves repeating the same consonant sounds in adjacent or connected words to emphasise key ideas. Onomatopoeia is using words that closely resemble the sounds they represent in order to grab the audience’s attention. These devices are useful in speeches because they allow you to draw attention to key ideas/central messages.
