Monday, January 31: Alphabet Soup
Ah, the last day of a long month. We made it. In class we said goodbye to January with a lesson on the sound of poetry.
We talked about how the sound of the word "stone" was actually more round and more smooth than the sound of the word "rock" even though the meanings are virtually interchangeable.
We then looked at the alphabet and divided it into the following categories:
I. Vowels
A E I O U (Y)
II. Consonants (all of those other letters)
Consonants are made up of two main categories
A. Mutes (letters you can't really say without a vowel added)
They create an abrupt end and can sound powerful or harsh
B P K C G T Q D
B. Semivowels (F H J L M N R S V W X Y Z)
Semivowels are themselves divided into two groups:
1. Liquids (as they make smooth flowing sound)
L M N R (with M and N being more "nasal" sounding)
2. Aspirates (as they make airy, breathy sounds)
V W Y Z (and I think H should be added as well)
