【Poem Reading Tuesday】The Star 英文詩和英文歌的節奏有關係嗎
There are several different types of meter based on the various patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables(Fig 3)
Trochee is the meter with stressed syllables followed by unstressed syllables. That is very similar to the music with a time signature of 2/4 (Fig 1) or 4/4(Fig 2).
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”is one of the best examples of this pattern.
Questions:
Are you able to highlight the stressed syllables?
Homework:
Write a poem including ripple,summer,light,grace etc words.
You may post your homework as a main post.
