Poetic Structure Study

Students examine a poem’s structure by counting lines, identifying the rhyme scheme, and determining which poetic form it resembles. They then explain how the poem’s structure helps reinforce its meaning. A bonus question invites students to consider how rewriting the poem in free verse would affect its impact. This worksheet teaches structural analysis and encourages students to think critically about poetic form and purpose.
