Shakespearian Writing

Prose and Verse Shakespeare wrote plays alternating the use of both verse and prose Prose is everyday language of communication (conversation, letters, lectures, articles, dialogue, books, texts, etc.) Verse is a collection of lines that follow a HIGHLY STRUCTURED regular, rhythmic pattern

Verse by Shakespeare The beginning of each line is capitalized The lines do not utilize a full margin (shorter) - because they are determined by syllable count They are written in a specific structured rhythm called iambic pentameter

Shakespeare used verse to: 1. Express deep emotion requiring elevated language 2. Make wise, penetrating, reflective, organized observations requiring lofty language 3. Present a lyrical poem in a separate entity 4. Inject irony by use of a particular character

Syllables Syllable: unit of spoken language consisting of an uninterrupted utterance that forms a whole word (cat) or a commonly recognized division of a word (per-fect-ly)

How many syllables? chair beg apple lunch computer bizarre hope eat book capitulate alligator resume Russell disdainful monitor crate university justify principal puppy

Honors Syllable Poems Telephone Number Poems: Use a 7 digit telephone number to write a poem about what the number represents to you. Use each number in the poem to represent the number of syllables in each line.

Regular Syllable Poems Haiku: Haikus are Japanese poems about nature or natural experiences. They are very structured according to syllables. Follow the format below to write a haiku about some aspect of nature. Line one: 5 syllables Line two: 7 syllables Line three: 5 syllables

Literary Foot Foot: basic unit of meter, set # of strong and light stressed syllables Example: an iamb is one type of foot Iamb: is a light/strong pattern of two syllables Example: Detroit de (light: symbol = u) - TROIT (STRONG: symbol = /) -> De (u) - TROIT (/)

Meter Meter: # of feet in a line of verse Examples: Pentameter is an example of meter Pentameter: the prefix penta means five - there are five feet in a line of pentameter

Rhythm Rhythm: the combination of foot and meter in a line of verse Example: Iambic Pentemeter is a type of rhythm Iambic Pentameter: is one line of verse consisting of five light/strong syllables in a row (10 total) Example: We(u) hold(/) these(u) truths(/) to(u) be(/) self(u) ev(/)-i(u)-dent(/) Stress the strong syllables (deTROIT)!

Shakespearian Sonnets Shakespeare wrote over 150 sonnets They are named by their number “Sonnet 18” They have 14 lines and four parts 3 quatrains (4 lines): present a problem 1 rhyming couplet (2 lines) : present a solution
