Sample Activities At The Site: This site is designed to help students understand some lyrical devices better in a fun way -- specifically, rhyming and non-rhyming poetry, simile, rap, and freestyle. The site offers readings of poetry and rhyme in RealPlayer format, available at the site. It also offers young lyricists a chance to submit their own poetry or to be helped by site "experts" such as "The Saurus," who helps you understand what separates mundane words from their "Wonderword" counterparts. The site is clever and helpful for students wanting to test their poetic prowess.
