State how many there are.
Recap: We focused on poetry meter and rhythm today. I was going to hold off on this, but I wanted you to understand the rhythm of the poem. Most poets write the rhythm into the poem purposfully, which helps you to keep the beat. If you don't follow this created rhythm, it can throw off the entire poem, and even change its meaning.
These are the two worksheets covered in class today. Save them and review. You'll find that most poems are written in iambic, but that doesn't mean they all are. We will be looking for the meter in poems so that you can understand them better. This will also help you when you have to memorize one later on.
Great work today!
