1 COURSE PLAN A CHILD S GARDEN OF VERSES COURSE PLAN METHODOLOGY: by Robert Louis Stevenson is represented by the abbreviation. Each weekly assignment is summarized in the first lines of the week s daily course plan. The specific daily assignments are outlined in the following lines indicated by the 1, 2, 3 and 4 abbreviations. The poetry study questions are located in the Literature Study Question booklets available for purchase from Kolbe Academy. Answers should be given in complete written or oral sentences. We suggest reading the weekly written assignment to the student at the beginning of the week. The student should write the assignment down on a note card (to be used as a bookmark) so that he can think about the assignment as he reads. The written assignments are suggested to be started on Thursday after the reading is done and completed by the following Monday. As the teacher, be sure to review the exam now to ensure all concepts are covered with your student as he reads the book., published in 1885, captures Robert Louis Stevenson s poetic reflections on his 19 th century childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland. Stevenson, who struggled with poor health his whole life, wrote the prose for this book while confined to bed in 1884 with life-threatening illness. Reflecting back to his childhood, the poet takes this opportunity to tell readers of his childhood hopes, dreams, and fears, as well as people and places of importance to him. He dedicates this book through his first poem to his childhood nurse, Alison Cunningham, called Cummy. Following this poem are four sections of poetry. The first is unnamed, and followed by sections called, The Child Alone, Garden Days, and finally, Envoys. It is important to note that poems in this book reflect Victorian Age virtues parents used to raise their children. Ideas herein about the roles of children, as well as people of the world, capture knowledge and values of those who lived during this historical period. This poetry unit provides a unique opportunity to step back in time to the 19 th century through the first person perspective of a famous writer to learn about the history and culture of those times. Extra Credit for the Course: Robert Louis Stevenson also wrote the novels Treasure Island, and Kidnapped. For extra credit, read one of these adventure novels and write a book report. Poetry Terms: Stanza: group of lines that come together like a paragraph in poetry. Foot: unit of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. Line of feet makes up a meter. Syllable: vowel sound in a word. Stressed syllable: vowel sound heard in a word. Unstressed syllable: unheard vowel in a word. CHN1
2 COURSE PLAN Meter: sequence of groups of feet in a line of poetry that gives poetry its rhythm. Trope: descriptive word use in poetry, such as metaphor, simile, personification, and anthropomorphism. Rhyme: when a pair of words in lines of poetry sound like they match exactly or closely in vowel sounds. Full Rhyme: when a pair of words in lines of poetry match exactly in consonant and vowel sounds. Example: cat, bat; drum, hum Slant Rhyme: when a pair of words have different consonant and vowel endings but sound like they match. Example: goes, blows; sky, lie Rhyme Scheme: pattern of rhyming words at the ends of lines of poetry inside a stanza. Each same ending sound receives a matching letter of the alphabet, with the first matching set being a, then b, c, d, e, and so on. Rhythm: pattern of stressed and unstressed vowel sounds in poetry lines of poetry. Couplet: two lines of poetry that follow one after another that have the same rhyme and meter. Personification: giving human feelings or actions to objects or things that are not human. Example: The refrigerator hummed in the kitchen. Anthropomorphism: giving human feelings or actions to animals. Example: The sly fox tricked the rabbit. Simile: a trope, creative use of language, that compares two unlike things using like or as. Example: She sings like a bird. He is as fast as a cheetah. Metaphor: a trope that makes clear or hidden comparisons between two unlike words. Examples: Life is a journey. You are my sunshine.

Example: She writes carefully / She spells well Alliteration: Use of the same letter sound at the beginning of words close together. Example: Annie ate apples. CHN2
3 COURSE PLAN Types of Feet: Look for groups of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line to find feet. This book is written in Iambic foot with various meters. The following feet are most common in poetry: Iambic: Unstressed + Stressed - Two Syllables: da DUM Trochaic: Stressed + Unstressed - Two Syllables: DUM da Spondaic: Stressed + Stressed - Two Syllables: DUM DUM Dactyl: Stressed + Unstressed + Unstressed - Three Syllables: DUM da da Anapestic: Unstressed + Unstressed + Stressed - Three syllables: da da DUM Types of Meter: Monometer: one foot, example: da DUM : I /write Dimeter: two feet, example: da DUM / da DUM : on snow / I climb Trimeter: three feet, example: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM: when here / the spring / we see Tetrameter: four feet, example: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM: The feet / in time / did rhyme / by line Pentameter: five feet, example: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM: Shall I/compare/thee to/ a sum/mer s day? (Shakespeare) Hexameter: six feet, example: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM: when I / went walk / ing down / the street / I found / my niece Heptameter: seven feet, example: da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM: when I / went walk / ing down / the street / I found / my niece / a treat Naming Rhythm: Rhythm in poetry reads like a pattern of drum beats in music. We name the rhythm by using the name of the foot with the name of the meter. Example: Iambic Tetrameter: Whose woods/ these are/ I think/ I know. (Robert Frost) There are 4 sets of unstressed / stressed syllables in this line. CHN3
