Seussian Superlatives

In honor of Dr. Seuss, we created our very own alphabet book using his example of alliteration.  Alliteration is when the same sound is repeated throughout a sentence.  We illustrated our alliteration sentences following Dr. Seuss' example of contrasting colors and fictional characters. My students' examples are quite tongue twisting. Here are just a few:

Jackal and Jordan jumprope wearing jackets in a jungle with a jackrabbit, a jaguar, and a jellyfish. - Christina

Olivia Octopus overlooked her ostrick in the ocean of Oklahoma while playing an operatta on oppossums and opening doors. - Benjamin

The drooling dictionary dared to drink dishwater dumplings. - Katey

Edward the earthworm was eating eggplant in Europe with Eddie the elephant. - Marcella

Do you have an example you would like to share?

What wonderfully wacky writers you have using witty and wild combinations of words!
Well, I’m no Dr. Seuss, but I do enjoy Green Eggs and Ham!
House has the brightest students. You are all doing an amazing job demonstrating that point to the world. Keep up the good work!

I liked doing the Dr.Seuss things. I liked the picture I did. I wish we could do more. I like you as my teacher this year.

It is very fun to create ryming words. If you work very hard you could make a book one dayyou become a writer one day. You might even like it one day.So try ityou just might like it.

I recently recieved this email, and I thought you and your students would love to see Dr. Seuss' take on computers!

Why Computers Sometimes Crash! by Dr. Seuss.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.
When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

That is soooo cool! Did the student like to do the book? The alliterations are really tongue twisting! Do you think you would do this every year with the kids?
