Renaissance Writing: Structure to the EXTREME! British Literature Mrs. Leach

Take NOTES! It is crucial that you take notes on this presentation. The end of this lesson will culminate into YOU writing a Shakespearean Sonnet. You cannot do that if you don’t have the instructions! This presentation is on my website.

Elizabethan Poets Like modern song writers, Elizabethan poets used strongly emotional language to express their love. They often used a SONNET form.

Sonnet 14 line-lyric poem with a single theme. Each line is IAMBIC PENTAMETER or 5 groups of 2 syllables WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS LATER. FIRST YOU NEED TO LEARN THE BEAT.

SCANSION What you will be doing is called scansion, or the analysis of a poem’s beat/meter.

POETIC METER A regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. It is a rhythmic “beat” like the steady pulse that brings you into music. VIDEO listen for the BEAT!!

Finding the BEAT Examples: saMANtha *GINger *DAvid *aLEXus *Kevin Think about how people say your name. Where is the emphasis placed? What syllable sticks out? Take a few moments to discuss a few classmates names and where you place emphasis. Examples: saMANtha *GINger *DAvid *aLEXus *Kevin Don’t put the wrong emPHAsis on the wrong syLAble!

VIDEO Introduction Video

Practice the Metrical Pattern On a sheet of paper, write down the following phrases. Identify the metrical foot of each. Keep in mind to focus on which part of the word gets the most emphasis. EXAMPLE: I seek to hold the wind 1. Best of all, victory! 2. I bought a car today. 3. Look for hidden pitfalls. 4. In the cool of the night. U- unstressed -stressed
