Today, I gave you Sonnet 18. We discussed how Shakespearean sonnets have 14 lines, which consist of three quatrains and a couplet. We then discussed what a syllable was and watched a video. Finally, the students tried their hand at interpreting this sonnet, which we then discussed. If you were not here, I have put a copy of this sonnet in your portfolio. You can also find it online (Shakespeare: sonnet 18).
