Into the Woods: Rhymes

This is a great movie. Meryl Streep is simply magnificent in this role. I used this scene to talk about rhymes and poetry.



A rhyme is when two words sound the same when spoken. Rhyming words don't have to be spelt the same to be classed as a rhyme. Rhyme is used in poetry to help the poem become interesting. Rhyme is used to help create a pattern within a poem.

I. Work in pairs:
 
Read the script of the scene and choose the best word to match the rhymes. Check the rhyme and the meaning too.


[WOLF]

Good day, young lady.

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD].. good day Mr.Wolf.

[WOLF]
Look at that flesh
Pink and plump.
Hello, little girl...
Tender and (fresh/ flash / trash),
Not one lump.
Hello, little girl...
This one's especially lush,
Delicious...
Hello, little girl,
What's your (crush / rush/ blush)?
You're missing all the flowers.
The sun won't set for (ours/ hours/ towers),
Take your time.

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]

Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay or be (misled/ glad/ sad).

[WOLF]

But slow, little girl,
Hark and hush-
The birds are singing sweetly.
You'll miss the birds (immediately/ completely/ quickly),
You're traveling so fleetly.
Grandmother first,
Then Miss Plump...
What a delectable couple:
Utter perfection-
One brittle, one supple-
One moment, my dear-!

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]

Mother said,
"Come what (pay/ pray/ may),
Follow the path
And never stray."

[WOLF]

Just so, little girl-
Any path.
So many worth exploring.
Just one would be so (boring/ storing/ sorry).
And look what you're ignoring...
Think of those crisp,
Aging bones,
Then something fresh on the palate,
Think of that scrumptious carnality
Twice in one day-!
There's no possible way
To describe what you (steal/ peel/ feel)
When you're talking to your meal. (GROWL) for granny

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]

Mother said
Not to stray.
Still I suppose,
A small delay...
Granny might like
A fresh (play/ bouquet/ gourmet)
Goodbye, Mr. Wolf.

[WOLF]

Goodbye, little girl.
And hello...
(howls)
