Sonnet Workshop

Ex 3-1a: Sonnet Draft

Bring 3 copies for your peers, and one copy with the stressed and unstressed syllables carefully marked for the instructor. Be prepared to deliver your poem orally in small groups. (Draft 8pts; peer review 12pts)

Update, Apr 25:

You can choose any subject you want for an original sonnet. I have already gone over the form of this poem, but remember to have two quatrains and a final sextet. Each quatrain should be a complete thought that sets up a problem, and the first line of the sextet should contain a twist or complication that leads to the resolution.
