In this course, students will read William Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 in class. We will hear it as it is meant to be read and then we will dive into the different poetic elements of sonnets and, in particular, Shakespearean sonnets. A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem, traditionally written in iambic pentameter, that uses one of several rhyme schemes, and a structured organization that depicts a particularly strong feeling or big idea. Students will be given a link to a Google Document to analyze the poem and to annotate the elements within it through a walk-through activity with the teacher!
