Due Friday. 10/19:

• "Raven" Copy Change (two stanzas minimum)
• There may be more blanks in stanza one than I had on the smart board.
• Do this in JE #17 left. 
• This link below might help you with the meter. 

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochaic_octameter

1. Keep the rhyme scheme (abcbbb).
2. Optional: Use internal rhyme in lines 1 & 3, as Poe does.
3. Maintain the meter of the original as much as possible:

• Lines 1-2-3 = 16 syllables (trochaic octameter)
• Lines 4-5 = 15 syllables
• Line 6 = 7 syllables
• The very  last word  of stanza 1 should be the same as the very last word in stanza 2.
• Make sure to keep the punctuation consistent.
