🫶 CLASS SYNOPSIS 🫶
     ☀️ Poetry will often follow rules of rhyme scheme, meter, and more;  this one time middle school course will learn about these structures through studying Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare
     ☀️ Not only will students be introduced to one of the most famous poems of all time (Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare), they will be challenged to understand it in both meaning and form.  

🫶 OVERVIEW/DETAILS 🫶
     ☀️ Single 55 minutes class
     ☀️ Class time includes in-class comprehension/discussion questions, a powerpoint lesson, and provided skeleton notes
     ☀️ Lesson will cover the four elements of a Sonnet
     ☀️ Line, Rhyme-scheme, Syllable count, and Meter will all be defined, taught, and practiced
     ☀️ Students will practice comprehension and analysis of a poem

🫶 TEACHING STYLE 🫶
     ☀️ Student-to-student discussion and interaction
     ☀️ I aim to facilitate conversation, protect think-time, and posing questions that provoke deeper thought based on the central text. 
     ☀️ I love interacting with my students!  I will be apart of the conversation as well 😁
     ☀️ Lessons will be shared to ensure all students comprehend concepts and themes
     ☀️ While students will be challenged to think deeply, their perspective will always be encouraged and celebrated.  
     ☀️ I hope that students feel as welcomed to think as they are challenged in their thinking. 
     ☀️ Down-to-earth discussions and I love an occasional tangent so that learning is organic!
