1. #24 Journal 10/14
Write about a song you like, or a style of music you enjoy. Explain what you like about it. What impact do the lyrics, rhyming, and rhythm have on your enjoyment of the song? Please have Close Reader open to page 48 on your desk.

2. Rhyme and Sound
I can identify various types of rhymes and explain their effects: true, slant, assonance, consonance.
I can identify and mark rhyme scheme in a poem.
I can explain how sound features (rhythm, rhyme, alliteration) help to convey meaning and create effects.

3. # Rhyme and Sound /14
Leave space between each for notes. We will return to your notebook as we discuss each type.
1. Regular rhyme scheme
2. Irregular rhyme scheme
3. Slant or approximate rhyme
4. Internal rhyme
5. Consonance
6. Assonance

4. Rhyme!
Rhyme scheme is the pattern of END rhyme in a poem. Regular rhyme scheme is a specific pattern. Irregular means there are some rhymes but no particular pattern.
Example: abab

5. Marking Rhyme Scheme
Lower-case alphabet letters are used to indicate which lines rhyme.
For example "abab" indicates a four-line stanza in which the first and third lines rhyme, as do the second and fourth. Here is an example :
Bid me to weep, and I will weep, a
While I have eyes to see; b
And having none, yet I will keep a
A heart to weep for thee. b

6. Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink a Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; b Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink a And rise and sink and rise and sink again; b Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,c Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;d Yet many a man is making friends with death c Even as I speak, for lack of love alone. d

7. You try it
Mark the rhyme scheme on poem #4, “The Violet”

8. Slant or approximate rhyme
Hope is the Thing with Feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.

9. Slant or approximate rhyme
Hope is the Thing with Feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. Doesn’t quite rhyme but comes close. Near-rhyme.

10. Internal Rhyme
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore –
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door –
Only this and nothing more.”
Words that rhyme within the same line of poetry

11. Internal Rhyme
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore –
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door –
Only this and nothing more.”
You try it with the next stanza.

12. Consonance- repetition of the same consonant two or more times in short succession
Example: "pitter patter" or in "all mammals named Sam are clammy".
Assonance- repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhymes within phrases or sentences.
Example: I've never seen so many Dominican women with cinnamon tans.
And the moon rose over an open field
