  • Assigned on 05/6:
    Please begin writing your Shakespearean Sonnet. For this draft, I want you to focus on the topic, love lost, and make sure it is 14 lines. For the final copy, which is due the last day of class, your sonnet will have to have the correct rhyme scheme (abab,cdcd,efef,gg) and be in iambic pentameter(/-/-/-/-/-). If you wish to work on that this week, I think that's a great idea. Also, please have the first 6 lines of the poem memorized for this upcoming Sunday. Good Luck!
