Sum of you may have never heard of these forms before butt buy the end of this class you all will bee experts in the field of poetry and can transfer the righting skills learned in poetry to you're everyday writing and recognize them in the stories that you read.

Some of you may have noticed the many errors in word use in the above paragraph this is because before we start looking at poetry it is useful to know that words that are similar can have different meanings; these words are called homonyms.

There are three types:
  1. homophones - words that sound alike but are spelled differently (write/right) Can you identify the matching homophones in the picture?

  2. homographs - words that are spelled alike but are pronounced differently (lead, close, wind)




3. homographic homophones - words that are both spelled and pronounced alike (bark, bat, match)
