Bookclub: Make sure you have read the novel; during Thursday's class, you will be creating a joint quotation log and thesis statement for your in-class essay.
Today: We re-read Wyatt's sonnet (page 150) and the three Shakespearean sonnets on the core list: 29, 116 and 30. We spent a half an hour creating individual found poems. A found poem uses the lines from the poems to create a new poem. Create a Petrarchan or Elizabethan sonnet using lines from the four sonnets to reveal attitudes toward love during the Renaissance. Mix and match. Make sure you follow the appropriate rhyme scheme and ensure the volta is in the correct place.
