Lene and Tracy,
We were working on Day 3 of Week 4 today and sort of hit a wall. After dismissing my charges I wonder if I may have found the reason: We were having a hard time discerning the meter of "Oo-de-Lally" using the analysis, SL2 which is perscribed by the schedule. When I looked at the imitation assignment for the week I found that it was SL3, Basic Imitation of Trochaic Meter. Should we have done SL3 Analysis, What is Trochaic Meter this week instead of week 5?
"Oo-de-Lally" does seem to fit the Trochaic Meter rather than Iambic. Is this right? Well, I was obviously winging it today, having not worked on the meter myself ahead of time.
Thanks for your help. We are thoroughly enjoying CW Poetry and have all learned so much. The teaching schedules have been especially helpful. Thank you for a wonderful curriculum. My dss have even been inspired to write poetry for me on Mother's Day and my birthday!
Warmly,
Melissa
