This clip from the movie Renaissance Man may help you to understand meter. The example, however, is in iambic pentameter, that means each of 5 sections should have an iamb (unstress/stress pattern). For your assignment, there should be either 4 or 3 iambs per line. (1 full-page, double spaced, MLA Format).
