Choose either “The Span of Life” or “The Red Wheelbarrow” and show the stressed and unstressed syllables by using regular and bold font. Here is an example of what you should do:

The unstressed part of the word should be in regular font and the stressed part of the word should be in bold. Also make sure to have a / when you’re moving from one foot meter to the next. 

“The Mill” by Edwin Arlington Robinson

The miller’s wife had waited long

The tea was cold, the fire was dead

And there might yet be something wrong

In how he went and what he said

The mill/ers wife/had wait/ed long

The tea/was cold,/the fire/was dead

And there/might yet/be noth/ing wrong

In how/he went/and what/he said
