Poetry is emotion put into measure.
e emotion must come by nature, but
he measure can be acquired by art.”
— Thomas Hardy, as quoted in
he Later Years of Thomas Hardy
y Florence Hardy.

7. What is poetry?
Poets choose words for their sound and
appearance, as well as for their
meaning. In this song, we’ll learn what a
poem is and see how poetic language
can take us beyond literal meaning.
Types of Poetry
While many poems have regular meter
and rhyme, others aren’t bound by
these rules. In this lesson, you will
learn about several common types of
poetry, including sonnets, haiku and
limericks.

10. Different forms of
poetryWhile the way lines are grouped in
a poem are significant, equally
significant is how a poet has
decided to form the poem..

11. Poems you are most
likely to
encounter
A form of poetry that does not
rhyme or follow a regular meter
A short narrative poem with
stanzas of two or four lines and
possibly a refrain that most
frequently deals with folklore or
popular legends and is suitable
for singing.

poetry, haiku consists of three
lines. Each line has a specific
number of syllables. The first line
has five syllables, the second has
seven and then the last has five.

Sonnets
One of the most popular forms,
the sonnet has two major styles:
English and Italian.Both forms,
much of the time, focus on love
A type of poetry whose meaning is
enhanced by the shape it forms on
the page.
Limerick
Afunny, five line poem with a
rhyme aabba. The a lines are
longer, and the b lines are shorter

12. Sonnets
● Sonnets were invented by the Italian poet Giacomo
da Lentini during the 1200s.
● The word sonnet is derived from the Old Occitan
phrase sonet meaning “little song.”
● There are two kinds of sonnets: English (or
Elizabethan or Shakespearean) and Italian (or
Petrarchan).
● Both forms are fourteen lines long and much of
the time, focus on love.
● Often, the first eight lines of the poem (the first two
quatrains in an English sonnet) demonstrate the
problem to be solved, and the final six lines (the last
quatrain and a couplet in the English sonnet)
resolve it.

13. Rhyming
Scheme
● The English sonnet adheres to this rhyme
pattern: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, or a
variation of it.
● The Italian sonnet usually follows this
pattern: ABBA ABBA CDE CDE. Sometimes
the tercets (groups of three lines) vary.
These variations can look like: CDC DCD or
CDC DDC or CDC EDC.
● Finally, there is a second form of English
sonnet known as the Spenserian sonnet. It
rhymes ABAB BCBC CDCD EE. It follows the
same basic pattern as the Shakespearean
sonnet but varies the rhyme.

14. Iambic
pentameter
● Sonnets are written in Iambic pentameter.
● A pentameter line has ten syllables. And each line
is divided into 5 segments or feet. There are 2
syllables per foot (5 x 2= 10)
● Iambic - iamb- An iamb is a metrical foot of poetry
consisting of two syllables—an unstressed syllable
followed by a stressed syllable

17. Listening Activity
1. In preparation for the next session’s discussion,
listen to the song by Coldplay -Viva La Vida.
2. While playing, have the following guide questions in
mind.
●Who is the persona in the song?
●Before his current state, how would you describe
the persona?
●What is the persona’s dilemma?

18. Shared
Inquiry
● The Five Guidelines of Shared Inquiry [Link]
● Inner Circle: SPEAKERS. They are the
ones who will answer the questions. Make
sure that your answers are based on
evidence from the text.
● Outer Circle: LISTENERS. Their main task
is to listen to the discussion of the inner
circle and to jot down the answers in their
Outer Circle notes. The Outer Circle notes
will also have a space for the students’
personal insights.

19. Shared
Inquiry
INNER CIRCLE REMINDERS:
● Use academic language (ICE) in sharing
your opinion and in addressing the opinion
of others.
●affirmation: “I appreciated ___’s comment
because ____.”
●extension: “Another piece of evidence for
___’s interpretation is ___.” “___’s
comment made me think about ___.”
●disagreement: “I looked at ___ a different
way because ____.”
●eliciting: “Who has other ideas about ___?”
●closing/re-launching: “Have we finished
this question? Who would like to ask
another?”

20. Shared
Inquiry
OUTER CIRCLE REMINDERS:
● Listen quietly to the Inner circle
discussion.
● Outer Circle has limited participation. You
can be asked to participate if the inner
circle is stuck on a specific item.
● Outer circle people can share their
insights / feedback about the session
after the discussion.
