compare reading poems to hearing poems
supported practice
in the video you watched, the speaker emphasized specific words to bring out the poem’s rhythm and rhyme. based on the video, determine whether the speaker emphasized the underlined words in each excerpt in order to highlight rhythm or to highlight rhyme. select the appropriate box.

	rhythm	rhyme
b	○	○	for the call of the running tide
c	○	○	... and the blown spume,
d	○	○	... a clear call that may not be denied;
e	○	○	and quiet sleep and a sweet dream ...

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each excerpt by checking if the underlined words create a rhythmic pattern (stress, meter) or rhyme (similar ending sounds with other words in the poem).

Excerpt A: "I must go down to the seas again"

• Rhythm: The underlined words ("must", "down", "seas") likely emphasize the meter (rhythmic pattern) of the line.
• Rhyme: These words don’t share similar endings with others here, so not rhyme.

→ Select Rhythm for A.

Excerpt B: "for the call of the running tide"

• Rhythm: "running tide" emphasizes the rhythmic flow (meter) of the phrase.
• Rhyme: No obvious rhyming with other words here.

→ Select Rhythm for B.

Excerpt C: "...and the blown spume,"

• Rhythm: "blown spume" supports the poem’s rhythmic structure.
• Rhyme: No clear rhyme with adjacent words.

→ Select Rhythm for C.

Excerpt D: "...a clear call that may not be denied;"

• Rhyme: "denied" likely rhymes with another word (e.g., "tide" from earlier? Or within the poem’s rhyme scheme).
• Rhythm: Less about meter here, more about rhyming.

→ Select Rhyme for D.

Excerpt E: "And quiet sleep and a sweet dream …"

• Rhyme: "sleep" and "dream" (or check the poem’s rhyme scheme—"sleep" may rhyme with another word, or "sweet dream" emphasizes a rhyming pair). Alternatively, rhythm? Wait, "quiet sleep" and "sweet dream" have a rhythmic balance, but often in such tasks, "sleep" and "dream" (or the underlined phrases) relate to rhyme. Wait, re-evaluate:

Wait, "quiet sleep" and "sweet dream"—do they rhyme? "sleep" and "dream" don’t, but maybe "quiet" and "sweet"? No. Wait, maybe rhythm. Wait, the key is: Rhythm is about the beat/meter (stress pattern), Rhyme is about similar endings.

Wait, let’s recheck:

• For D: "denied"—if the poem has a rhyme scheme where "denied" rhymes with another word (e.g., "tide" from B? "tide" (long i) and "denied" (long i) rhyme. So D is Rhyme.

• E: "quiet sleep" and "sweet dream"—the underlined parts. Let’s see the rhythm: "quiet sleep" (2 syllables, stress on "qui" and "sleep"?) or "sweet dream" (stress on "sweet" and "dream"). The pattern here is rhythmic (parallel structure, meter). But maybe rhyme? Wait, "sleep" and "dream" don’t rhyme. "quiet" and "sweet" don’t. So maybe rhythm. But wait, maybe the poem’s rhyme scheme: if "sleep" rhymes with another word, but without the full poem, we infer.

But typically, in such exercises:

• A, B, C, E: Rhythm (emphasizing the beat/meter).
• D: Rhyme (emphasizing a rhyming word with another in the poem).

Final Selections:

• A: Rhythm
• B: Rhythm
• C: Rhythm
• D: Rhyme
• E: Rhythm (or check the poem’s context—if "sleep" and "dream" are part of a rhyme, but likely rhythm here).

(Note: Without the full poem, we use the standard logic: Rhythm = meter/beat emphasis; Rhyme = similar ending sounds. So D is Rhyme, others Rhythm.)

Answer:

s (select the circle under Rhythm/Rhyme for each):

• A: Rhythm (circle under Rhythm)
• B: Rhythm (circle under Rhythm)
• C: Rhythm (circle under Rhythm)
• D: Rhyme (circle under Rhyme)
• E: Rhythm (circle under Rhythm)
