Shakespeare sometimes gets a bad rap in high schools for his complex plots and antiquated language. But a quick peek into the rhythm of his words reveals a poet deeply rooted in the way people spoke in his time — and still speak today. Why do Shakespeare’s words have such staying power? David T. Freeman and Gregory Taylor uncover the power of iambic pentameter.

The most common meter in poetry, iambic pentameter is famously associated with William Shakespeare. Here's how you can rhyme like a modern-day bard.
Step 1: Know feet
Know that an iamb is a rhythmic unit called a foot and is a combination of unstressed and stressed syllables. One word with two syllables, like "instead," could be an iamb, or two monosyllabic words could be an iamb, like "she wants."
Step 2: Know meter
Understand that pentameter is a meter that means the iamb is repeated five times. So iambic pentameter is a line of poetry with five iambs.
Tip
Use this famous line from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night as a guide: "If music be the food of love, play on."
Step 3: Choose a rhyme scheme
Choose a rhyme scheme, like ABAB. Each letter represents the ending sound of the line, so ABAB means the first line rhymes with the third, and the second line rhymes with the fourth.
Step 4: Write four lines
Draw a row of five short lines on your paper. Write one iamb – one unstressed syllable and one stressed – on each line until you have 10 syllables in iambic pentameter.
Step 5: Repeat
Repeat for the next three lines, making sure the last syllable of line one rhymes with the end of line three, and the end of line two rhymes with the end of line four.
Step 6: Expand to a sonnet
Expand the four lines to create a sonnet, which comprises fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. The Shakespearean sonnet typically has a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
Tip
The four lines together in a sonnet are called a quatrain, while the ending two lines are called a rhyming couplet.
Step 7: Study famous poets
Study the works of great poets who used the form, including Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Did You Know?
Did you know? Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets.

Filmed at North Central College by a North Central College Secondary Education Alumni. To be used with direct instruction, the video explains the components of Iambic Pentameter. Don't you frown!
Woaaaahhhh let me tell ya
What's goin' down
Iambic pentameter
Don't you frown
Cause, it's been around
Since you and me could speak
Just listen to its sound
It sounds like a heart beat
BaBumBaBum Bumbumbababumbum
Since you know what a sonnet is, that I won't repeat [activate prior knowledge]
You simply take a line of the verse and divide by five feet
Then you take a foot and stomp the words out
Unstressed and stressed syllables makeya peep and shout
Then you take it all and put it to a rhyme
I know it sounds hard, it just takes a little time
And when you write your own it becomes quite clear
The best rapper alive was who? (Knolwedge)
Will Shakespeare
If you think I'm playin' then you better play the radio
Cause this is not a joke, it's something you should know
That any hip hop song climbin' up the pop charts
Iambic pentameter, where it had its starts
Can you imagine why? (Synthesis)
Of course it works better to memorize lines
when you're on stage
in the middle of the play
nothing brings you more rage
than forgettin' what to say
So next time you hear about a boring Shakespeare
You know the truth, you yell 'lend him an ear' dude
Cause hearing this language is kinda cool
Let me show you the way, and you'll learn so soon
Without the masters, the rappers, and hip hop EMC's
We'd a never ever heard, to be or not to be.

Time to learn about Iambic Pentameter
Don't be a Shakespearean amat'er
If you're playing Romeo or Hamlet 'r
Lear
Pentameter's
Here
To help you to perform
Shakespeare!
It goes like this:
"duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH"
10 beats!
"(duh-DUH)(duh-DUH)(duh-DUH)(duh-DUH)(duh-DUH)"
5 feets!
Two beats in a foot and most feet are iambs
And sometimes the ends of the iambs have rhy-mes
But hey, what is an iamb anyway?
IAMB
Here, I'll explain! I'm an iamb!
"duh-DUH. duh-DUH."
An iambic foot has an unstressed syllable
Followed by a stressed!
"duh-DUH."
And that's the kinda foot that I am
I am an iamb!
TROCHEE:
Trochee! Trochee!
A stressed syllable first then an unstressed one
"DUH-duh. DUH-duh."
IAMB:
"duh-DUH."
TROCHEE:
"DUH-duh."
IAMB:
"duh-DUH."
FEM. ENDING:
And don't forget about me boys:
I'm a feminine ending
Instead of ending at the 10th beat, I just add one more
That's what a feminine ending is for
"duh-DUH-duh..."
IAMB:
"duh-DUH."
TROCHEE:
"DUH-duh."
FEM. ENDING:
"duh-DUH-duh..."
IAMB:
"To be or not to be:"
TROCHEE:
"That is--
FEM. ENDING:
--the question:"
TROCHEE:
"Now is--"
IAMB:
"--the winter of our discon--"
TROCHEE:
(interrupting)
"--OUR disCONtent!"
NARRATOR:
No, Trochee, stop it!
TROCHEE:
"BUT soft!"
"BUT soft WHAT light THRU yonDER winDOW breaks!"
"BUT soft!" "BUTT soft!"
FEM. ENDING:
Stop saying Butt soft!
IAMB:
It's okay, Feminine, I got this:
"But soft what light thru yonder window breaks?"
Is an example of iambic Willy Shakes!
Oh, see, it all sounds so much sweeter
When you analyze the meter
Now ya won't be an amat'er
Ya know about Iambic Pentameter
You could play Romeo or Hamlet 'r
Juliet or Lear
Now you can perform
Shakespeare!

Iambic pentameter (from Greek: ἰαμβικός πεντάμετρος meaning to have five iambs) is a commonly used metrical line in traditional verse and verse drama. The term describes the particular rhythm that the words establish in that line. That rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables; these small groups of syllables are called "feet". The word "iambic" describes the type of foot that is used (in English, an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable). The word "pentameter" indicates that a line has five of these "feet."
These terms originally applied to the quantitative meter of classical poetry. They were adopted to describe the equivalent meters in English accentual-syllabic verse. Different languages express rhythm in different ways. In Ancient Greek and Latin, the rhythm is created through the alternation of short and long syllables. In English, the rhythm is created through the use of stress, alternating between unstressed and stressed syllables. An English unstressed syllable is equivalent to a classical short syllable, while an English stressed syllable is equivalent to a classical long syllable. When a pair of syllables is arranged as a short followed by a long, or an unstressed followed by a stressed, pattern, that foot is said to be "iambic". The English word "trapeze" is an example of an iambic pair of syllables, since the word is made up of two syllables ("tra—peze") and is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable ("tra—PEZE", rather than "TRA—peze"). Iambic pentameter is a line made up of five such pairs of short/long, or unstressed/stressed, syllables.

Hip-Hop & Shakespeare? Akala at TEDxAldeburghHip-Hop & Shakespeare? Akala at TEDxAldeburgh
Akala demonstrates and explores the connections between Shakespeare and Hip-Hop, and the wider cultural debate around language and it's power. MOBO award-winning hip hop artist 'Akala' is a label owner and social entrepreneur who fuses rap/rock/electro-punk with fierce lyrical storytelling (think Wu-Tang Clan and Aphex Twin meets Rage Against The Machine). With Akala's latest record, convention-defying album DoubleThink, Akala has proven himself as one of the most dynamic and literate talents in the UK. Inspired by the likes of Saul Williams and Gil Scott Heron, Akala has also developed a reputation for stellar live performances with his drummer Cassell 'TheBeatmaker' headlining 5 UK tours and touring with everyone from Jay-Z, Nas & Damian Marley, M.I.A. and Christina Aguilera to Siouxsie Sue and Richard Ashcroft, appearing at numerous UK / European and US festivals (Glastonbury, Big Chill, Wireless, V, Hove and SXSW) also partnering with the British Council promoting British arts across Africa, Vietnam (the first rapper to perform a live concert in Vietnam), New Zealand and Australia. In 2009, Akala launched the 'The Hip-hop Shakespeare Company', a hotly-tipped music theatre production enterprise which has sparked worldwide media interest since its inception. Previous collaborators include: British actor; Sir Ian McKellen, actor/musician; Colin Salmon and Royal Shakespeare Company Voice Director; Cicely Berry. 2011 sees the launch Akala's latest endeavour 'Illa State Productions' to garner his budding scriptwriting talent alongside TV presenting and as a music composer for various TV and Film projects.

Shakespeare sometimes gets a bad rap in high schools for his complex plots and antiquated language. But a quick peek into the rhythm of his words reveals a poet deeply rooted in the way people spoke in his time — and still speak today. Why do Shakespeare’s words have such staying power? David T. Freeman and Gregory Taylor uncover the power of iambic pentameter.

The most common meter in poetry, iambic pentameter is famously associated with William Shakespeare. Here's how you can rhyme like a modern-day bard.
Step 1: Know feet
Know that an iamb is a rhythmic unit called a foot and is a combination of unstressed and stressed syllables. One word with two syllables, like "instead," could be an iamb, or two monosyllabic words could be an iamb, like "she wants."
Step 2: Know meter
Understand that pentameter is a meter that means the iamb is repeated five times. So iambic pentameter is a line of poetry with five iambs.
Tip
Use this famous line from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night as a guide: "If music be the food of love, play on."
Step 3: Choose a rhyme scheme
Choose a rhyme scheme, like ABAB. Each letter represents the ending sound of the line, so ABAB means the first line rhymes with the third, and the second line rhymes with the fourth.
Step 4: Write four lines
Draw a row of five short lines on your paper. Write one iamb – one unstressed syllable and one stressed – on each line until you have 10 syllables in iambic pentameter.
Step 5: Repeat
Repeat for the next three lines, making sure the last syllable of line one rhymes with the end of line three, and the end of line two rhymes with the end of line four.
Step 6: Expand to a sonnet
Expand the four lines to create a sonnet, which comprises fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. The Shakespearean sonnet typically has a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
Tip
The four lines together in a sonnet are called a quatrain, while the ending two lines are called a rhyming couplet.
Step 7: Study famous poets
Study the works of great poets who used the form, including Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Did You Know?
Did you know? Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets.

Filmed at North Central College by a North Central College Secondary Education Alumni. To be used with direct instruction, the video explains the components of Iambic Pentameter. Don't you frown!
Woaaaahhhh let me tell ya
What's goin' down
Iambic pentameter
Don't you frown
Cause, it's been around
Since you and me could speak
Just listen to its sound
It sounds like a heart beat
BaBumBaBum Bumbumbababumbum
Since you know what a sonnet is, that I won't repeat [activate prior knowledge]
You simply take a line of the verse and divide by five feet
Then you take a foot and stomp the words out
Unstressed and stressed syllables makeya peep and shout
Then you take it all and put it to a rhyme
I know it sounds hard, it just takes a little time
And when you write your own it becomes quite clear
The best rapper alive was who? (Knolwedge)
Will Shakespeare
If you think I'm playin' then you better play the radio
Cause this is not a joke, it's something you should know
That any hip hop song climbin' up the pop charts
Iambic pentameter, where it had its starts
Can you imagine why? (Synthesis)
Of course it works better to memorize lines
when you're on stage
in the middle of the play
nothing brings you more rage
than forgettin' what to say
So next time you hear about a boring Shakespeare
You know the truth, you yell 'lend him an ear' dude
Cause hearing this language is kinda cool
Let me show you the way, and you'll learn so soon
Without the masters, the rappers, and hip hop EMC's
We'd a never ever heard, to be or not to be.

Akala demonstrates and explores the connections between Shakespeare and Hip-Hop, and the wider cultural debate around language and it's power.
MOBO award-winning hip hop artist 'Akala' is a label owner and social entrepreneur who fuses rap/rock/electro-punk with fierce lyrical storytelling (think Wu-Tang Clan and Aphex Twin meets Rage Against The Machine). With Akala's latest record, convention-defying album DoubleThink, Akala has proven himself as one of the most dynamic and literate talents in the UK. Inspired by the likes of Saul Williams and Gil Scott Heron, Akala has also developed a reputation for stellar live performances with his drummer Cassell 'TheBeatmaker' headlining 5 UK tours and touring with everyone from Jay-Z, Nas & Damian Marley, M.I.A. and Christina Aguilera to Siouxsie Sue and Richard Ashcroft, appearing at numerous UK / European and US festivals (Glastonbury, Big Chill, Wireless, V, Hove and SXSW) also partnering with the British Council promoting British arts across Africa, Vietnam (the first rapper to perform a live concert in Vietnam), New Zealand and Australia. In 2009, Akala launched the 'The Hip-hop Shakespeare Company', a hotly-tipped music theatre production enterprise which has sparked worldwide media interest since its inception. Previous collaborators include: British actor; Sir Ian McKellen, actor/musician; Colin Salmon and Royal Shakespeare Company Voice Director; Cicely Berry. 2011 sees the launch Akala's latest endeavour 'Illa State Productions' to garner his budding scriptwriting talent alongside TV presenting and as a music composer for various TV and Film projects.

In which John Green examines Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare. John delves into the world of Bill Shakespeare's famous star-crossed lovers and examines what the play is about, its structure, and the context in which it was written. Have you ever wanted to know what iambic pentameter is? Then you should watch this video. Have you ever pondered what kind of people actually went to see a Shakespeare play in 1598? Watch this video. Were you aware that wherefore means "why?" Whether you were or not, watch this video. In Shakespeare's time, entertainment choices ranged from taking in a play to watching a restrained bear try to fight off a pack of dogs. Today on YouTube, our entertainment choices are just as wide-ranging. So you can either choose to watch the modern equivalent of bear baiting (another cinnamon challenge) or you can be edified and entertained by John and Crash Course. So wherefore are you reading this description instead of watching the video?
