The last 10 minutes we played a game of Othello.

Shakespeare:
I asked for an update on your stickie post it notes. How did it go?
We looked at modern sonnets.
We did an activity that I call pass the poem. We started two poems: one on love, one on hate, and passed them around and had each person contribute a line of verse following the rules of a Shakespearean Sonnet. I will post these soon. They were both well done.
We looked at the origin of the sonnet- Italian style. We defined the differences and talked about lasting images in poems.
HW: Please bring in your favorite printed lyrics. These do not need to be your fav song- but rather lyrics that are meaningful to you. We will be making these into a sonnet on wed. I will also continue to look to getting you into a lab to work on your sonnet media project.
