Song Lyrics

Worksheet Description

This worksheet introduces a listening activity centered around the concept of assonance in music. It describes assonance as the intentional repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words, noting its influence on rhythm and mood in poetry and song lyrics. Students are instructed to listen carefully to audio clips of several songs played by their teacher and to write down examples of assonance they hear in the lyrics. There are four blank lines provided for students to record the assonant phrases or words from the songs.

It teaches them to pay close attention to the sound patterns that contribute to the musicality of language. The exercise helps to reinforce their understanding of assonance as a poetic device and encourages them to recognize its effect on the aesthetics of language. Additionally, this activity highlights the practical application of literary devices in everyday art forms such as music, thereby enhancing the students’ appreciation of literature and the arts.
