Someone can help me this Marking the rhythm please. Mark the strong beats in each line: Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
Ma' ry had' a lit' tle lamb',
Its fleece' was white' as snow',
And ev' ery where' that Ma'ry went',
The lamb' was sure' to go'.
thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
To mark the strong beats in each line, you'll need to identify the stressed syllables in the words and phrases. To do this, let's break down the lines:
Line 1: Mary had a little lamb
Line 2: its fleece was white as snow
Line 3: and everywhere that Mary went
Line 4: the lamb was sure to go
Let's go through each line and identify the stressed syllables:
Line 1: Ma-ry had a lit-tle lamb
In this line, the stressed syllables are "ry," "had," "lit," and "lamb."
Line 2: its fleece was white as snow
The stressed syllables here are "fleece," "white," and "snow."
Line 3: and eve-ry-where that Ma-ry went
The stressed syllables in this line are "where," "ry," and "went."
Line 4: the lamb was sure to go
Here, the stressed syllables are "lamb," "sure," and "go."
Now, let's mark the strong beats using an apostrophe (') above the stressed syllables:
Line 1: Ma'ry had a lit'tle lamb
Line 2: its fleece was white as snow
Line 3: and eve'ry'where that Ma'ry went
Line 4: the lamb was sure to go
By marking the strong beats with an apostrophe, you highlight the stressed syllables that carry more emphasis in the rhythm of the lines.
