Flow of Thought

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is about enjambment, a literary device used in poetry. Students are provided with a series of incomplete sentences about enjambment and a box of words that are to be used to fill in the blanks correctly. The task is designed to test and reinforce their understanding of enjambment, its applications, and its effects on poetry. By choosing the appropriate word for each sentence, students engage with the concept of enjambment in a practical and interactive way.

The worksheet is teaching students how enjambment affects the rhythm and structure of poetry. It introduces the idea that enjambment can be found in poetry rather than prose and highlights its origins from a French phrase. Students learn that enjambment can add complexity to a text and influence its pace, potentially evoking feelings of anxiety or providing a relaxed flow. Through this exercise, they also come to understand how the interplay between enjambment and end-stopped lines can contribute to the overall mood and theme of a poem.
