Shakespeare:

Today:

We looked at the sonnet based on a problem, followed by a solution.  You each thought about a problem on your mind and wrote an original sonnet.

We looked at Sonnet 130 (WS) vs. Sonnet 15 (E. Spenser)  One pg writing prompt comparing their portrayal of women for HW

We looked at how comedy can be used in Sonnets.  We looked at a sonnet making fun of the rules by Billy Collins.

We spent 30 minutes working on your sonnet project.  You will have the entire class on Thursday.
