  • BTW You are taking notes

2
What in the world is that?
  • Anagrams are words or phrases that are formed
    by rearranging the letters of another word or
    phrase.

3
Just So You Know )
  • Some special anagrams don't even require
    rearrangement! You just add/remove spaces and
    punctuation! For instance,
  • have you ever noticed that The IRS always thinks
    that your stuff is theirs? 

4
Roots!
  • The word ANAGRAM comes from the roots ANA,
    meaning new, back, or again, and GRAM, meaning
    letter(s).
  • P.S. Maybe these 2 roots should be on our quiz on
    Friday!

5
Anti-grams
  • Anti-grams are anagrams whose interpretation are
    considered ironic, or opposite of the subject.
    How would one describe FUNERAL? I don't think the
    right answer would be REAL FUN.

6
One word Anagrams
  • A single word is anagrammed into another single
    word.
  • A mother's first thought when a teenager brings
    up CARS is usually SCAR.
  •  

7
More Special Anagrams!
  • Some anagrams are created perfectly by reversing
    the order of the letters. Mommy, I really SAW
    him! He WAS right here!

8
Why would they be in literature?
  • You might be saying, "Sure they're fun in games
    like scrabble, but how and why would they be used
    in literature?"
  • When a poet uses anagrams, it is genius and
    spontaneous!
  • Also, anagrams often carry hidden messages. Clint
    Eastwood-gt Old West Action. They are really funny
    and creative. 

9
Activity
  • Whoever can find the most anagrams in the lyrics
    of Anagrams by Rush at the end of class gets
    candy.
