Happy Birthday, William Shakespeare!

Today, in honor of this great playwright and poet, we will examine the sonnet form.

After studying the Shakespearean sonnet and its rhyme/rhythm scheme, try composing your own!

Generally, the Shakespearean sonnet is a love poem.

Be sure to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday this Sunday!!

What's your favorite Shakesperean play? And your favorite line?
