It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Rhyme Scheme" that includes several poems and asks students to identify the rhyme scheme of each poem. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll guide you through how to solve this type of problem based on the typical structure of such worksheets.
Let me walk you through the steps to determine the
rhyme scheme of a poem:
---
🔹 What is a Rhyme Scheme?
A
rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line in a poem. Each unique rhyme is labeled with a letter (A, B, C, etc.). If two lines rhyme, they get the same letter.
For example:
- If lines 1 and 2 rhyme → A
- If lines 3 and 4 rhyme → B
- Then:
AABB

🔹 How to Solve It:
1. Read the poem carefully.
2. Look at the
last word of each line.
3. Determine which lines rhyme with each other.
4. Assign letters to each new rhyme sound.

🔹 Example Problem (Typical from Such Sheets):
#### Poem 1:
> There once was a man from Nantucket
> Who dreamed he was eating a crumb
> He woke up with crumbs
> And said, "That's no dumb!"
Step-by-step analysis:
- Line 1: *Nantucket* → ends with "ket"
- Line 2: *crumb* → ends with "umb"
- Line 3: *crumbs* → ends with "umbs" — rhymes with *crumb*
- Line 4: *dumb* → ends with "umb" — rhymes with *crumb*
So:
- Line 1: A (unique)
- Line 2: B (new rhyme)
- Line 3: B (same as line 2)
- Line 4: B (same as line 2)
Wait — but line 1 doesn’t rhyme with any other line. So:
- Line 1: A
- Line 2: B
- Line 3: B
- Line 4: B
→ Rhyme scheme:
ABBB
But wait — actually, let’s double-check:
- *Nantucket* and *crumb* don’t rhyme.
- *Crumb*, *crumbs*, *dumb* all rhyme.
So yes: A (Nantucket), B (crumb), B (crumbs), B (dumb) →
ABBB
However, sometimes people might misread it — so make sure the words actually rhyme.

Now, if your worksheet has similar poems, here’s how to approach them:

📝 Common Rhyme Schemes:
| Pattern | Description |
|--------|-------------|
|
AABB | Two pairs of rhyming lines (e.g., “Twinkle, twinkle, little star / How I wonder what you are”) |
|
ABAB | Alternating rhyme (e.g., “I wandered lonely as a cloud / That floats on high o’er vales and hills”) |
|
ABBA | Enclosed rhyme (like a palindrome) |
|
ABC | No repeating rhyme — each line has a different ending |

✔ Step-by-Step Solution for Your Worksheet:
Since I can't see the image, here’s what you should do:
1.
Poem 1:
- Identify the last word of each line.
- Group lines that rhyme together.
- Label with A, B, C, etc.
- Write down the rhyme scheme.
2.
Repeat for each poem.

💡 Tip:
If the poem has only 4 lines, common schemes are:
- AABB (common in nursery rhymes)
- ABAB (common in sonnets)
- ABBA (also seen in sonnets)

🧠 Final Answer Format:
For each poem, write:
>
Rhyme scheme: [e.g., AABB]
