Learn Rhyme and Meter
‘‘Da-boom-da-lioom-da-iboom-da-boiom-
da-boom—.”
Students passing through the flrst-
tloor of the science building any morn
ing last week were startled to hear the
(pieer sounds above, which issue daily
from the budding young genii studying
creative Fnglish in room 10 every
morning durin.g first period.
But the students are not practicing
up on their tom-tom lessons, nor learn
ing the Alor.se code., This “da-da-boom”
is the result of a unit of study in
poetry scanning, meter, and all the in
tricacies that go with reading and
writing verse. The purpose of the tap
ping each day is to acipiaint the stu
dents with the various rhythms of
modern poetry and music. For example,
one student attempts to tap out the
melod.v of some song while his fellow-
classmates rack their brains to find a
popular tune that fits the noise.
To vary the schedule, one day’s les
son ma.v consist of a series of (lues-
tions and answers, all in the same
meter and rhyme. For example, when
Biennie Lowe, member of the group
asks: "Where has all the snow been
taken?'’ Frances Paschal replies: “To
the dump and there forsaken.” AATiich
all goes to show’ that poetr.v can be a
source of fun and amusement and not
a slow and tedious task of trying to
delve into some poet’s theory of im-
mortalit.v or why daffodiis express a
poetic soul I
