After vocab today, we began our focus on meter, the beats of syllables in poetry. The types of meter today were the iamb, trochee, anapest, dactyl, and spondee. In class, we practiced identifying meter by completing a handout (The Foot & Meter), which required us to identify words for their foot type and creating phrases/sentences that mixed and matched various forms of meter.
Next week, make sure you bring your textbook back to class and your new poetry packet. We will be talking stanzas, lines, and types of poetry.
