RHYME SCHEME
A rhyme scheme is a pattern of rhyme (usually end rhyme, but not always).
Use the letters of the alphabet to represent sounds to be able to visually “see” the pattern. (See next slide for an example.)
SAMPLE RHYME SCHEME The Monster Chef
The monster chef cooked up a meal, Of spotted toad and speckled eel. He threw some socks into a pot And boiled buttons piping hot.

SAMPLE RHYME SCHEME The Germ by Ogden Nash
A mighty creature is the germ, Though smaller than the pachyderm.
His customary dwelling place Is deep within the human race.
His childish pride he often pleases By giving people strange diseases. Do you, my poppet, feel infirm? You probably contain a germ.
