This class is taught in English.
Students will learn the difference between prose, iambic pentameter, and blank verse. They will learn what a sonnet is and the terminology associated with sonnets like quatrain and couplets.

Though it isn't essential, they are welcome to join an interactive Nearpod lesson to work on their sonnets in a more interactive way.

The lesson allows the students to quiz themselves, draw imagery that they might want to include in their poetry, and construct iambic pentameter lines by filling in the blanks.
