Definition I am going to use Sonnet 18 to show you how I identify and label the: lines quatrains couplet **Each time I do something on Sonnet 18, I want you to do the same to yours, so you have a model to work with.

Identifying Rhyme Scheme Let’s look at Sonnet 18 as a model. I’ll show you how you identify rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean Sonnet is always the same: ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG **Watch and copy how I label Sonnet 18

Identifying Iambic Pentameter 5 metric feet that alternate between unstressed and stressed (a total of 10 syllables) Typically begins with an unstressed syllable (u) as opposed to an stressed (/) P.S. there are other types of meter...Trochaic, Spondaic, Dactylic, etc. It is said that Shakespeare used Iambic Pentameter because it closely mimics the way we speak in English.

Identifying Iambic Pentameter Ok...5 metric feet that alternate between unstressed and stressed (a total of 10 syllables) So, one meter is De-Dum (2 syllables): you will have 5 Des and 5 Dums De is unstressed; Dum is stressed. [Shall I] [compare] [thee to] [a summ] [er’s day] **Sometimes it is not this simple. Shakespeare is good, but not perfect. You have to think about what is being stressed (if it is stressed, it should be important).

Identifying Iambic Pentameter Let’s look at Sonnet 18, and I will show you how I find and label.
