In this lesson, students will play with words as they use alliteration. Students will press buttons to generate adjectives, verbs, names, and nouns that begin with the letter "A" in them. Students will continue to generate letter "A" words until they find three words that inspire an entire story or simply a descriptive paragraph inspired by the alliterative words.
