Directions:
Today, we will focus on something you have been learning about since your kindergarten days with Miss Vitale or whomever your special kindergarten teacher was!...RHYME!
Rhyming is when the last syllable of two words sounds the same.
Today's focus will be on "End Rhymes" which in poetry means when the end of two or more lines of verse rhyme.
