I have two questions:
1. On page 91 in the Teacher's Book, it explains an ABABABAB pattern, and in the Student/Teacher's Guide Workbook A, the 3rd poem, it shows the pattern as AABBCCDDEE..ect.
If the rhyming words are air/rare, do you not assign the "A" to another word unless it rhymes with those words? From page 91, it looks as if you would assign an ABAB pattern within each stanza.
2. I purchased the Roget's Thesaurus, 6th Edition and I do not know how to find the antonyms. I have read the "How to" Section and spent time trying to figure it out. Can you give me some guidance?
Thanks April

If the 5th edition is anything like the 6th edition, I can help out on that question. There isn't an 'antonym' section per se, but the categories are grouped so that antonyms are near each other. Hearing, for example, is 48. Deafness is 49. Feeling is 93, lack of feeling is 94. To find an antonym, look at the main category before or after the word you're looking at. Carolyn

April, Question #1, you are right, the pattern is AABB in each stanza. I use the AABB CCDD to help my students see that the rhyme pattern resets at the beginning of each stanza. This becomes important later when analyzing interlocking type rhymes. Lene gives a better explanation of this on the previous message on this board. Here's a link: lene.proboards15.com/index.cgi?board=poetry&action=display&thread=1130130150Hope that all helps you! in grace, Kathy

In response to the rhyme scheme question. If air/rare are in the 1st stanza and are marked as a's, then if the word pair is in the 2nd stanza it would not be marked a? Would it then just be marked the next available letter?

The rhyme scheme in a regular poem with regular stanzas is only marked for the first stanza.
The only time you would mark more than one stanza is in special rhymes that carry on to the next stanza and on, like Terza Rima in Dante's Divine Comedy, where the rhyme scheme for subsequent stanzas look like
ABA BCB CDC DED
etc.
For a regular poem it's just rhyme scheme ABAB, or AABB, or whatever the scheme is and you only need to mark that first stanza.
Did I understand your question correctly,
Lene
