4 APRIL 2016 BELL ACTIVITY: BROWSE THROUGH THE ANTHOLOGY AND RECORD THE TITLE AND PAGE #S OF POEMS YOU LIKE TODAY WE WILL…. LEARN THE HOW TO HANDLE A BAD DAY. LEARN ABOUT RHYTHM & RHYME IN POETRY.

“INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BAD DAY” BY SHANE KOYCZAN. This is a form of poetry called, “Performance or Spoken Poetry”. The poet does not write the poem down for publication. The written form which I printed off for you and in the youtube video is because someone else listened and transcribed the poem. The poem contains excellent instances of parallelism, imagery, rhythm, alliteration, assonance, consonance and simple rhymes,.

The musical beat of language created by stressed and unstressed syllables Rhythm

STARTING WITH THE BASICS: 1. LETTERS STAND FOR SOUNDS = Ex: a, oo, d, f, 2. WE COMBINE THOSE SOUNDS TO CREATE SYLLABLES Syllable = a single unit of sound containing ONE vowel sound + its surrounding consonant sounds. EX: “bat” “tle” “sun” “shine” “book” RHYTHM: the musical beat of language caused by stressed and unstressed syllables.

3. ALL words are composed of syllables. 4. ALL syllables are either… STRESSED OR unstressed. A stressed syllable is one that is emphasized, (ie. said slightly louder, or at a higher pitch.) SYL-la-ble not syl-LA-ble EX:

Try this….. The preposition, behind The blue truck is being pulled behind the ox.

The word “behind” has 2 syllables, In a multiple syllable word, only one syllable will be stressed. Be-hind be-HIND

If we change which syllable is stressed, we change the meaning of the word. Be-HIND becomes BE-hind Which has a different meaning entirely,

CONSIDER: Present …..PRE/sent Vs. Present ……pre/SENT

Not only do we emphasize different syllables in a word, but in English we emphasize certain words over others. “Come in to the room, and take a seat.” Come in to the room, and take a seat.

Words that are almost never stressed conjunctions article adjectives prepositions pronouns

Poets pay attention to stressed & unstressed syllables & uses them to create rhythm patterns called METER. Meter- an intentional, repetitive & rhythmic pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry.

There was a young person named Ned, Who dined, before going to bed. On lobster and ham And salad and jam. And when he awoke he was dead. A Limerick is a type of poem which requires a very specific, intense RHYTHM PATTERN.

Shakespeare used a specific meter pattern in his sonnets called “iambic pentameter”. It is a pattern of 5 “unstressed then stressed” syllable combinations. It makes a da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum, da dum rhythm pattern.

-- / -- / -- / -- / -- / My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red, than her lips red: If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound: I grant I never saw a goddess go, My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any she belied with false compare. EXAMPLES:

. EXAMPLE by Emily Dickinson: --- / --- / Because I could not stop for Death He kindly stopped for me The Carriage held but just Ourselves And Immortality. --- / --- / --- / --- / --- / --- / --- / -- /

Using the same word twice is NOT considered a rhyme. It is simply a repetition. EX: antelope / cantaloupe plate / eight white / delight rare / compare

Rhymes are indicated using lowercase letters (a,b,c, etc) along the right margin. Each ending sound is assigned the next letter in the alphabet.

Eletelephony by Laura e. Richards Once there was an elephant,a Who tried to use the telephant-a No! No! I mean an elephoneb Who tired to use the telephone-b (Dear me! I am not certain quitec That even now I’ve got it right.)c Howe’re it was, he got his trunkd Entangled in the telephunk;d The more he tried to get it free,e The louder buzzed the telephee—e (I fear I’d better drop the song f Of elephop and telephong!)f

Acquainted with the Night I have been one acquainted with the night.___ I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.___ I have outwalked the furthest city light.___ I have looked down the saddest city lane.___ I have passed by the watchman on his beat___ And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.___ I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet___ When far away an interrupted cry___ Came over houses from another street,___ But not to call me back or say good-bye;___ And further still at an unearthly height,___ A luminary clock against the sky___ Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.___ I have been one acquainted with the night. ___ Robert Frost

A Pizza the Size of the Sun I'm making a pizza the size of the sun,___ a pizza that's sure to weigh more than a ton,___ a pizza too massive to pick up and toss,___ a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce.___ I'm topping my pizza with mountains of cheese,___ with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas,___ with mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore,___ with every last olive they had at the store.___ My pizza is sure to be one of a kind,___ my pizza will leave other pizzas behind,___ my pizza will be a delectable treat,___ that all who love pizza are welcome to eat.___ The oven is hot, I believe it will take___ a year and a half for my pizza to bake.___ I can hardly wait til my pizza is done,___ my wonderful pizza the size of the sun.___ - Jack Prelutsky

Picture Puzzle Piece One picture puzzle piece lyin' on the sidewalk, one picture puzzle piece soakin' in the rain. It might be a button of blue on the coat of the woman who lived in a shoe. It might be a magical bean, or a fold in the red velvet robe of a queen. It might be the one little bite of the apple her stepmother gave to Snow White. It might be the veil of a bride Or a bottle with some evil genie inside. It might be a small tuft of hair on the big bouncy belly of Bobo the Bear. It might be a bit of the cloak of the Witch of the West as she melted to smoke. It might be a shadowy trace of a tear that runs down an angel's face. Nothing has more possibilities Than one old wet picture puzzle piece. By Shel Silverstein
