The Foot Becomes a Line

In all AP Lit hours, we are in the midst of improving our poetic vernacular, breaking words into syllables, and determining unstressed and stressed sound combinations. At this point, all of you have broken down the "g" words on the foot & meter handouts, finding all the iamb, trochee, spondee, dactyl, and anapest feet. For second hour and fourth hour, you also shared your creative lines from the second half of the handout; seventh hour will share their phrases tomorrow. In addition, second hour made it through the next few pages of the poetry packet with line, stanza, and rhyme terminology and the introduction of our first poetic genre, the ballad. Second hour's homework is to read the ballad example and respond/close read for the attached questions/statements afterwards.

P.S. We will be using your lit books in class for sample poems. Make sure to have yours with you!
