  2. Before we can start with drama… • We need to learn poetry!

  3. Why??? • Drama first began as public readings of poems • Even Shakespeare’s drama has a poetic base

  4. Basics of Poetry • Poetry is composed of two things • Rhyme • Words that have the same vowel sound and end sound • Meter • The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables

  5. Rhyme • Two words must share both vowel and end sound • Cut and butt • Have the ‘uh’ vowel sound and the ‘t’ end sound • If they only have the same vowel sound • Cut and bun • Have the same ‘uh’ vowel sound but different end sounds • If they only have the same end sound • Cut and bet • Have the same ‘t’ end sound but different vowel sounds

  6. Rhyme • End rhyme: rhyming words occur at the end of two lines • While I nodded, nearly nappingSuddenly, there came a tapping • Internal rhyme: rhyming words occur within the same line • Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary • Near rhyme: (also called slant rhyme) where two words almost rhyme • Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soulAnd sings the tune without the words and never stops at all

  7. Rhyme • Rhyme Scheme: a regular pattern of rhyme within a poem • Assigns each word at the end of a line a letter: A, B, C, etc • Little Bo Peep has lost her sheepAnd doesn’t know where to find themLeave them aloneAnd they’ll come homeWagging their tails behind them • A, B, C, C, B

  8. Meter • Pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables • Easy way to remember this: da versus DUM • Stressed (DUM) • Unstressed (DUM-da) • There are different types of meters and different grouping of meter • We’ll get into that later

  9. Other things we need to know • Groupings of lines • Sound devices • Literary devices

  10. Groupings of lines • Couplet • Triad • Quatrain • Quintet • Sestet • Septet • Octet • What do these words have in common?

  11. Sound Devices • Rhyme: same vowel sound and end sound • Onomatopoeia: words that mimic sound • Alliteration: repetition of the same beginning sound • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers • Assonance: repetition of the same vowel sound • Purple curtain • Consonance: repetition of the same consonant sound • Cold wind

  12. Literary Terms (You already know these!!!) • Simile • Metaphor • Allusion • Personification • Imagery • Irony
