This program continues to explore both the history and the essential components of poetry introduced in Volume 6. After viewing, students will understand alliteration, assonance, and consonance in connection to rhythm/meter and rhyme as they discover free verse as an artistic reaction against the poetry forms covered previously and as the dominant poetic form of our time. Classic works of poetry are presented along with detailed graphics, engaging examples, and exciting video. On-screen multiple-choice reviews at the end of each segment reinforce important concepts and make learning fun.
