## Class activity: Your own sonnet

Together with a classmate or on your own you are going to write a sonnet à la Shakespeare.

You can start from scratch or base yourselves on an existing lyrics. Mind that you use all the characteristics of a Shakespearean sonnet. Although it is difficult to use iambic pentameter, try to use it as often as you can.

If you work with a classmate, make sure you mention your classmate's name in your notes.
