This page was created by a 5th and 6th-grade teacher "As a quick reference for [his] students when studying rhythm," although older students could easily use it too. The following terms are defined: rhythm, meter, scansion, iamb, trochee, anapest, dactyl, spondee, pyrrhic, monometer, pentameter, dimeter, hexameter, trimeter, heptameter, tetrameter, and octameter. It also asks students to figure out the meter of a few passages of poetry and includes a link to the answers.
