Description
Have you taught sonnets? Do students still not understand them?
This poetry-writing exercise for writing a sonnet gives students all the structure they need for writing the "square poem" form. Students will have fun writing rhyming poems and sharing with their classmates. Because everything is done for you, this no-prep print or digital resource is a lesson you can use TODAY! This also works well as an emergency substitute lesson plan and should take students 90 minutes (minimum) to complete.
By writing their own sonnets (Shakespearean or Petrarchan), students gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the form. This poetry-writing exercise for writing a sonnet can be fun for students, especially if you let them work with partners. This is a great group work/cooperative learning activity.
This lesson includes
⭐ an assignment sheet with a detailed description of the process,
⭐ a writing form sheet to help students follow the format of a sonnet (2 forms),
⭐ a product-specific rubric to assess the student-written poem, and
⭐ examples (professional & student-written) to help students get started.
This is a rigorous poetry-writing activity for students and can easily integrated into a novel study or any poetry unit.
I have used this in conjunction with teaching Shakespeare (The Renaissance) and Modern Sonnets in British poetry, and as an option for a creative writing class. Writing your own sonnet is helpful for assisting students as they write their own creations.
