8. Prose vs. Poetry Shakespeare often writes poetically
He includes a lot of figurative language in his plays to add meaning
The structure of many of the lines is in a poetic form called Iambic Pentameter

9. Prose It has sentences arranged in paragraphs
The information presented is more pragmatic, than in poetry
Sentences of prose follow each other, one after the other
The first word of each sentence is capitalized
Punctuation for both prose and poetry is the same
The first line of each paragraph is indented
The language of prose is straightforward, with less figurative language than poetry

10. Poetry
The appearance of poetry on the page or computer screen is different, unique than that of prose
Poetry has stanzas
Poetry divides into shorter lines, with a phrase or group of words that join together on each line
In traditional poetry, the first word of each line is capitalized
Some poetry has only the first word of each sentence capitalized
Indenting of lines depends on where the writer desires to have indenting
Poetry is created with figurative language, such as poetic devices

11. Iambic Pentameter Iambic pentameter is a series of 5 soft
(‐) and hard (/) syllabic stresses per line:
A “foot” consists of one stressed syllable
and unstressed syllable
There are 5 feet in one metre of Iambic Pentameter
This rhythm follows the same beat as the human heart
‐ / ‐ / ‐ / ‐ / ‐ / for easier recall of the lines
Actor’s in Shakespeare’s theatre had to memorize lines very quickly, this poetic form helped them do that

12. Try It Out!
Say this line very slowly; stressing (louder, more emphasis) the second in the pair of syllables (in bold and underlined)
Let’s try it together (collaboration points)
Shall I com-pare thee to a sum-mer’s day?
To be or not to be, that is the question.
If music be the food of love, play on;
