Alphabets Are Amazing Animals Analysis
There’s a beauty about alliteration. The repetition of the first consonant creates a cadence in writing that, when used well, is almost poetic. Alphabets Are Amazing Animals is written entirely in alliteration and is a wonderful way to teach kids vocabulary, sentence structure, and rhythm in the English language.

In Alphabets Are Amazing Animals, author Anusha Ravishankar creates sentences around different animals, reptile and birds. She chooses a unique member of these species for each letter (A is for Anteaters, B is for Buffaloes and so on), pairs it up with a verb and completes the sentence with an object or adverb. Voila! The grammatically correct, alliterative sentence is ready to read to your kid.

The sentences are silly – “Dull donkeys

    One Fine Day Nonny Hogrogian

    However to work with them is a real challenge and needs a real skill. I would guess for a child who is in first grade may be familiar with letters but not sure how much they may be writing them. I would teach the letter ‘F’ for fox, by tracing the letter ‘F’ in upper and lower case with their figure and also ask them to produce the sound of the letter. Then I would encourage them to color the fox in the coloring page, and trace the word fox. This way the child learns the letter ‘F’, the sound of letter ‘F’, learns the animal and the word Fox. However this has to be repeated on consistent basis until the child masters the…

    Animism And The Alphabet Summary

    In Animism and the Alphabet, David Abram, founder and creative director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics, goes in depth about how writing and the alphabet developed over the years by various groups of people. After annotating the text, I was able to consider the arguments presented by David Abram and found myself questioning many of his viewpoints. As I was reading my annotations, one that jumped out at me was when I wrote “may not be “true” writing, but still has meaning behind each picture that can tell a story” (30). How does one actually determine what writing consists of? I feel as though writing does not solely consist of words, rather writing needs to communicate ones thoughts or convey a story. This communication can be demonstrated through pictures in addition to text.…

    One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Language Analysis

    In One flew over the cuckoo’s nest, Ken Kesey uses first person narration by a secondary character using a subjective tone. By using an unstable perspective of a schizophrenic Indian, Bromden, results in ambiguity leading the readers to make decisions on which parts of the plot are real and which are hallucinated. Sentence structure and machine imagery help emphasise the ambiguity of the novel by placing the reader through the mind of Bromden. Through using these techniques Kesey mystifies the plot which makes the reader to ponder over whether the plot is real or hallucinated.…

    Animals In Translation Summary

    Temple Grandin’s diagnosis as a “high-functioning” autistic did not hinder, but ignited her drive to make a difference in the world. Using her love for animals, and her claim to “think like an animal”, Temple was able to change the handling of livestock for slaughter, making the process more humane. In her article for the Smithsonian Magazine, Temple allows people a peek into the brain of a person with autism. I think it is really fascinating the way Temple describes how she thinks in photo-realistic pictures that pop in her mind like “a series of slides projected on the screen”.…

    Letters Across The Divide Analysis

    Anderson and Zuercher (2001) observe that “There are three kinds of racism: individual, institutional, and indirect” (p. 10). The authors examine each type of racism and share their viewpoints with each other through a series of letters written to each other. This earnest and affectionate correspondence illustrates the differences in perception between cultural groups about race relations and discrimination. The two authors, who befriended each other at a church sponsored singles group, present their individual perspectives on racial discrimination. David Anderson, senior pastor at a multi-cultural church is African-American, and Brent Zuercher, a certified…

Assonance is the repetition of vowels with different consonants. An example is stanza three of Steven 's poem:…

    That Pig Can 'T Do A Thing'

    As it is shown that children recognise and distinguish rhyme before moving to other aspects, “That Pig Can’t Do A Thing” has been chosen as it has multiple rhyming words such as pink/drink and run/fun. After the initial reading, the educator can emphasis each of the rhyming words during another reading and at the end discuss the concept, which is frequently picked up quickly by children at this age due to exposure to nursery rhymes and songs. An activity that could consolidate this is a sorting activity where by children are presented with several cards with words and pictures on them, some rhyming and others not, for them to separate into the two categories. Another example of a post shared reading activity for emergent literacy learners is a literacy hot potato (“Phoneme Awareness: Identifying the Beginning Sounds of Words”, n.d). This is where key words from the text are changed into picture form and placed in a small basket. This basket is then passed around the circle of children in time with music. When the music stops, children are to pick and image and say aloud the name of the picture and then say the beginning sound of the word. In this scenario, the words and/or pictures in the basket would relate to the text, such as pig, drink, pink, run and ham. This exercises the children’s ability to recognise onset…

    animism and alphabet

    David Abram wrote an essay Animism and the Alphabet, which is about how alphabets have affected human society. He talks about how alphabets have worked as a differentiation between human and nature. Socrates and Plato are used as his supporting points. I made annotations as I read this piece, and there are two lines that captured my interest. They are annotations on “ Without writing, knowledge of the diverse properties of particular animals, plants and places can be preserved only by being woven into stories...events and interactions.” (Abram, 47) and “For reading, as soon as we attend to its sensorial texture, discloses itself as a profoundly synesthetic encounter.” (51)…

    An alphabet is a standard set of letters (basic written symbols or graphemes) which is used to write one or more languages based on the general principle that the letters represent phonemes (basic significant sounds) of the spoken language. This is in contrast to other types of writing systems, such as syllabaries (in which each character represents a syllable) and logographies (in which each character represents a word, morpheme or semantic unit).…

    Evolution of Letters

    Nearly all modern alphabets are descended from an alphabet invented 4000 years ago, probably by a group of people related to the ancient Hebrews, Phoenicians, and Canaanites, living in what is now the Sinai desert. They got the idea from the Egyptians, but used their own simplified pictures to represented consonant sounds. The Phoenicians and others of the region simplified the pictures further and often rotated them, but if you use your imagination, you can still make out where most of the 22 letters came from. If you turn the A with the point down, for example, you can see a representation of an ox head. All the letters were for consonants, which is reasonable for Semitic languages like Phoenician, Hebrew, Arabic, and even Egyptian. Even aleph and ayin actually represent the glottal sounds that preceded the A's. Greek (and most other languages) desperately need to represent vowels as well, so they took a few of the consonants they didn't need, and turned them into vowels -- aleph being the obvious example. They then added a few symbols of their own to represent extra sounds they needed. Three unused letters were retained in the Greek numbering system. The Phoenicians, like the Hebrews and Arabs today, wrote from right to left. The Greeks originally did the same, then changed to a system where they changed direction every line, and finally to the present system of left to right. This has passed down to all the modern European alphabets.…
