Wed. Feb. 3, 2016: Introduction to Iambic Pentameter

Today, I gave a presentation explaining iambic pentameter. The students then did an activity where they analyzed a sonnet, which was actually the words to a popular song altered to meet sonnet expectations. I then assigned each student a lyric sonnet to analyse (break into syllables and sets and then summarized). I also am curious to see how many of the students can determine what the song is. This assignment is due on Friday.
