  1. LESSON 5 • RHYTHM AND SYLLABLES

  2. FREE WRITE • . • Remember…. • Don’t worry! • Keep your pen and pencil moving for the whole five minutes.

  3. BRAINSTORM • In your journal, spend one minute defining rhythm and naming places you hear rhythm. • Ready… set… GO!

  4. Rhythm and Syllables • ACTIVITY • A song is a combination of words + music. • For lyrics to fit well with music, songwriters need to learn about rhythm and syllables. • Rhythmis a pattern of sounds and silences. • Syllables are the parts that a word is divided into when it is pronounced.

  5. Compare the two lyrics below. • Does somethingsound wrong? • “The Star-Spangled Banner” • And the rocket’s red glare • The bombs bursting in air • Gave proof through the night • That our flag was still there • And the rocket’s red glare • The bombs exploding everywhere • Gave proof through the night • That our flag was still there

  6. Compare the two lyrics below. • Does something sound wrong? • “Beat It” • Just beat it (beat it) beat it (beat it) • No one wants to be defeated • Just beat it (beat it) beat it (beat it) • No one wants to lose when they fight • “We Will Rock You” • We will, we will rock you • We will, we will beat you really bad

  7. LISTEN “Where the Green Grass Grows” • Individually count the syllables for the first few lines and write the total at the end of the line. • With a partner,count the syllables for theremainder of the song. • What did you discover?

  8. HOMEWORK • Song analysis • Choose three songs to analyze. • In your journal,copy the first verse and chorus of each song. Number the lines, then count and record the number of syllables in each line. For example: • Song 2: • Verse • Line 1: 6 syllables • Line 2: 8 syllables • Line 3: 6 syllables • Line 4: 8 syllables • Line 5: 9 syllables • Line 6: 4 syllables • Chorus • Line 1: 4 syllables • Line 2: 4 syllables • Line 3: 8 syllables • Line 4: 8 syllables • Song 3: • Verse • Line 1: 6 syllables • Line 2: 6 syllables • Line 3: 6 syllables • Line 4: 8 syllables • Line 5: 8 syllables • Chorus • Line 1: 6 syllables • Line 2: 6 syllables • Line 3: 6 syllables • Line 4: 8 syllables • Song 1: • Verse • Line 1: 8 syllables • Line 2: 8 syllables • Line 3: 8 syllables • Line 4: 8 syllables • Chorus • Line 1: 4 syllables • Line 2: 4 syllables

  9. Homework • song analysis • What did you learn about the kinds of syllable patterns you like or dislike? • Write a verse and chorus that uses each of the three patterns you discovered. This writing (and all your writing for this unit) could become part of your final song or you could just use it as practice.
