All About Alliteration!!!

Hello! I am in the education program at the University of Southern Mississippi.  I have designed this Web Quest for a class assignment. 

The purpose of this is to allow students to show how creative they can be through expression of words and illustration using alliterative sentences. It is designed for 4th graders.

I have aligned this activity with these National Standards for English/Language Arts and MS Frameworks/4th Grade.

National Standards

3. Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound–letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).

11. Students participate as knowledgeable, reflective, creative, and critical members of a variety of literacy communities.
 
12. Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).
