Spoonerisms

We had some fun yesterday with spoonerisms. We looked at some poems by Shel Silverstein in which he used spoonerisms to create humour. A spoonerism is when you accidentally get the first sounds in a couple of words mixed up. The students translated a poem, created a spoonerism with their own name, and then wrote a poem. It was lots of fun and the students created some hilarious poems.
