Attached is the remainder of the packet for Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18." We will be working on this packet for three days, as the last couple of pages require the creation of a sonnet and a graphing of it, or charting of the syllables to fit the meter. I will update this post with what we get to each day as it comes.
Tuesday: We completed the first quatrain analysis as a group.
Wednesday: Students completed the next two quatrains and final couplet analyses on their own (with the option to collaborate with partners).
Thursday: Students completed a theme statement, not using the "frame statement" box, and began graphing "Sonnet 18" as well as creating their own Shakespearean sonnets. Students were warned not to Google a sonnet and "borrow" it, as it would result in a 0 (it happened last year, so I am vigilant about it). Students did not have to write the analytical paragraph (we may return to it later, though).
Friday: Students will continue crafting their own sonnets, which are tentatively due upon return to class Tuesday (with the rest of the packet).
