English 1 -- Today in class, students read for 20 minutes from their library books, and then journaled in their writer's notebooks about is going on in their reading. Students then prepared for reading Shakespeare's sonnets by reviewing a few terms learned earlier in the year while reading Romeo and Juliet. After reading and discussing sonnets number 18 and 130, students ended class by starting to write sonnets of their own. This is probably the most difficult poem the students are assigned, but hopefully they will gain a new respect for those poets, like Shakespeare, who made sonnet-writing an artform.
English 1 Homework
Finish your sonnets
Continue to read your library books and/or prepare for your book talk
