This Meter and Rhyme (English II Reading) interactive also includes:

Imagine an interactive that teaches young poets all the essential elements of poetry. This colorful resource does just that. Players are introduced to rhythm, meter, and rhyme schemes using famous poems. They practice marking the accented and unaccented syllables in a Shakespearean sonnet and learn the importance of word placement and punctuation in lines and stanzas. You'll need this (resource) and nothing more to launch your poetry unit.
