Preparation and Materials This lesson can be used before, during or after the creation of a product. Students will need access to their Cashtivity account on a personal device. You may want to choose a video to show students that shows examples of alliteration. Lesson Flow Getting Started 10 minutes • Tell students that many companies use names for their products that grab the attention of their customers. You might say: When a company picks a name for a product they want it to be catchy and memorable. Some use alliteration to name their product. Alliteration is when a series of words all start with the same letter or same sound, like Marvelous Marshmallows or Tasty Treats. • To illustrate the concept of alliteration you might decide to show a YouTube clip on alliteration that is appropriate for your student’s level or create a class list of alliterative phrases. Independent Work 5 minutes • Tell students that today they are going to work on creating names for a product. Depending on when you teach this lesson you may want to present a product idea to students or have them use the actual product that they have developed. • Ask students to make a list of names that use alliteration independently; provide about five minutes for this work time. Group Collaboration 15 minutes Share and Next Steps 10 minutes • Explain to students that they will work in partners to come up with a list of alliterative product names. Ask students to bring the lists they worked on independently to their partner or team meeting. • After students have had time to work together ask them to choose one alliterative name for their product and come to a consensus as a group. • Bring students back together as a whole group. Ask each group to share the name they came up with for their product. • Remind students that this was an exercise for thinking of a name for their product and they should reflect on the process. Engage your class in a discussion with questions like: What kind of message did you want to get across with the name you created? When talking as a group about possible names what type of issues arose? Homework and Extension Ask students to… • write about the experience of giving and receiving feedback. • create a list of sentence starters that can be used in feedback conversations. • record their reflections and other work in the Notes app so teachers and other team members can access the content from the project.
