Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Students will learn how Shakespeare wrote his poetry and plays by learning the basics of iambic pentameter, Dramatic Structure, rhyming couplets, and sonnets.
Students will work on turning in a sonnet for a grade. We will work on the rhyming couplet together as a class, and then I will send a worksheet about the form of sonnets for the students to fill out. They will then email me the final version for a grade.
A worksheet on how to write sonnets will be supplied. In addition, a handout on plot structure and soliloquy will also be provided.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Students will receive a participation badge for posting comments. Students will receive a digital badge for their sonnet, and a participation certificate for completing all course work.
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
No outside resources are required.
