Lesson Plan II

Materials:

Several selections of poetry that display rigid meter
Bongos


This lesson is aimed at teaching students how to recognize meter in poetry. It gives students a concrete way of hearing the beat – and allows those that are kinetically/musically intelligent to practice those abilities.
Students will be asked to identify the meter in a selection of poetry. They will be asked to draw it out with the typical stressed/unstressed symbols. They will then be given a set of bongos to play it out to ensure they have gotten it correct.
