Use of commas to set off appositives Use of commas to set off appositives Elimination of you without a clear antecedent Subject and verb agreement

  2. Day 1 The number and types of beats in a line determine a poem's meter, its rhythmic pattern. Subject and verb agreement Use of commas to set off appositives Counting and marking the stressed and unstressed syllables in each line, a process called scanning,allows a reader to identify a poem's meter. Elimination of you without a clear antecedent Use of commas to set off appositives

  3. Day 2 Modern poetry that is called free verse does not have a regular meter. Scanning a poem, that is written in meter, involves marking each stressed syllable with an accent; each unstressed syllable with a breve. Correction of faulty subordination Use of comma to indicate words omitted in a parallel phrase Elimination of commas with restrictive clause

Correction of faulty subordination Scanning a poem that is written in meter involves marking each stressed syllable with an accent, each unstressed syllable with a breve. Elimination of commas with restrictive clause Use of comma to indicate words omitted in a parallel phrase

  5. Day 3 The meter of a poem is identified with a vertical line dividing the stressed and unstressed syllables into groups called poetic feet. Two common types of poetic feet are: the iamb a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, and the trochee an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Correct use of colon before a list Streamlining sentence with the use of the possessive Use of commas with nonrestrictive appositives

  6. Day 3 A poem's meter is identified with a vertical line dividing the stressed and unstressed syllables into groups called poetic feet. Streamlining sentence with the use of the possessive Here are two types of poetic feet: the iamb, a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, and the trochee, an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Correct use of colon before a list--do not use after a verb Use of commas with nonrestrictive appositives

  7. Day 4 The number of feet in a line determine the meter; trimeter is written in three foot lines, tetrameter in four foot lines, and so on. For an example of a poem written in iambic pentameter--five iambs per line--look at An Essay on Man by Alexander Pope. Use of quotation marks with the title of a poem Use of hyphens with compound modifiers Subject and verb agreement

  9. Day 5 Common measure, the popular meter found in ballads, hymns, nursery rhymes and cheers, alternate four-foot lines and three-foot lines. The rhythm of hardly no poem fits a meter exactly, indeed, departure from the meter is often a way to achieve a poetic affect. Use of dashes to set off interrupter that already contains commas Correction of commonly confused words Semicolon and comma and a conjunctive adverb to correct run-on sentence Elimination of double negative Subject and verb agreement
