To study poetry, you need to experience it: either the writing or the reciting of it. Therefore, you can choose between these two assignments below.
Assignment A: WRITE the poetry
➜ This assignment is easily explained:
write your own sonnet.
➜ Make sure you
follow the rules of a sonnet. You are free to choose between a Petrarchan sonnet or a Shakespearean sonnet.
➜ Upload your sonnet to
Seesaw and copy the link to your
Literary History File in
Egodact.

Assignment B: RECITE the poetry
➜
Choose one of the three sonnets we studied in this quest.
➜ Go to YouTube and look for
three readings of one of these sonnets. Below you will find a few of Mrs W's favourites...
➜ Take
notes on the readings you found
- who is reciting the poem?
- how is the poem read? Think of pace, volume, emphasis, pauses, tone...
- which is your favourite and why?
➜ Make a
video or audio recording of yourself reciting the sonnet you chose.
➜ Upload your recording to
Seesaw and copy the link to your
Literary History File in
Egodact.
