  1. Rhythm and Rhyme

  2. Rhythm • The pattern of sound created by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry • Foot: basic unit of stressed and unstressed syllables. Usually 2 or 3 syllables

  3. Rhythm (continued) • Meter: Rhythm that follows a regular pattern from line to line. • Trimeter: 3 feet • Tetrameter: 4 feet • Pentameter: 5 feet • Scansion: The analysis of meter in a line of poetry.

  4. Example of Scansion / is stressed and ^ is unstressed. What does this sound like read aloud?

  5. Rhyme • Repetition of the same stressed vowel and any succeeding sounds in two or more words.

  6. End Rhyme • rhyming words at end of line • Example: Policeman, policeman Help me please. Someone went and stole my knees. I’d chase him down but I suspect My feet and legs just won’t connect. Stop Thief by Shel Silverstein

  7. Internal Rhyme • rhyming of words within a single line • Example: Mrs. McTwitter the baby-sitter, I think she’s a little bit crazy. She thinks a baby-sitter’s supposed To sit upon the baby. The Sitter by Shel Silverstein

  8. Slant Rhyme • similar sounds but not exact. • Example: The fanciest dive that ever was dove Was done by Melissa of Coconut grove. She bounced on the board and flew in the air With a twist of her head and a twirl of her hair. She did thirty-four jackknives, backflipped and spun, Quadruple gainered, and reached for the sun, And then somersaulted nine times and a quarter— And looked down and saw that the pool had no water Fancy Dive by Shel Silverstein

  9. Imagery

  10. How is it created? • Imagery is created when an author uses sensory language to bring a scene to life. • Sensory Language: detailed language making use of the 5 senses • Sight • Taste • Touch • Smell • Hear

  11. Good Imagery • Solid imagery is like a fine painting. The author is an artist who paints pictures with his words. • With good imagery the reader see’s exactly what the author wants you to see and nothing more. • Good imagery also adds depth to the understanding of the poem. Each image is meaningful. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be there.

  12. Example • Ticklish Tom Poem you are about to read.

  13. Personification

  14. What is it? • When someone gives an animal or other object human like characteristics. • Example: Hey diddle, Diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.

  15. Think about this….. • How does personification help you imagine what is going on in any given scene? • Write 3+ sentences in the summary box on the front.
