World of Shakespeare:

Today in class we shared a sonnet from WS. I asked you to take your fav. line and broke you into groups to remix your line into a poem. Row 1 had the best:

Love in the Shadows of Heat (a sonnet mash up)

The spirit of love with a perpetual dullness.
Love is a babe, then might I not say so,
The one doth shadow of your beauty show,
If eyes corrupt by over partial looks.
Which from loves fire took heat perpetual.

Of course, this is not a sonnet. We went onto define a sonnet and took notes on the origin of theatre.

HW: Tonight, please read CH 5 in Shakespeare ALIVE!!!!!! You will read about the virgin queen, Queen Elizabeth. If it was not for her support of theatre, the world would have undoubtedly morphed into a much less entertaining place. Please be ready to talk about her rule and impact on theater.
