This is a great 3 day look at Shakespearean sonnets. Goes great at the beginning of any Shakespeare unit. The 3 days are broken up thusly:
1. Defining Shakespearean Sonnet and iambic pentameter - identifying IP in a Shakespearean sonnet.
2. Looking at love as the common theme in Shakespearean Sonnets - group translation activity.
3. Students begin to write their own Shakespearean Sonnets (this could conceivably last several days if wanted)
This might be useful for a new teacher.

Substandard no matter how you look at it. I see absolutely nothing original and it certainly doesn't save me any time.

7 years of successful teaching in the Public High School system in NYC. While there, I have taught English to 9th, 10th and 11th graders. In addition I have taught courses in SAT Prep, Media Studies. Digital Photography, Screenwriting and Music Theory. Over the years I have developed a reputation for creative lesson plans, passionate instruction, and excellent classroom management skills.
