Caleb rushed to the mailbox and grabbed the letter he had been waiting for. The loud rip from the paper was like music to his ears. A Cheshire cat smile emerged as he pulled the letter out of the envelope. The words hit him like a ton of bricks: “We regret to inform you that your application has been denied.” The skies of his future began to darken. He was clearly confused since he had Einstein-like grades and had participated in lots of extracurricular activities. How could they not accept him? The letter was taunting him, so he threw it to the ground. After years of moving
forward toward his goals, Caleb felt his life come
to a screeching halt.

3. Romeo and Juliet: Research Projects!
As your classmates present, make sure you pay attention – the background knowledge will be useful when we begin reading Romeo and Juliet next week!
Note: points will be taken off for any interruptions. Make sure you’re being respectful.

4. Sonnet Notes!
Today, we’re going to begin learning about Shakespearean sonnets.
A sonnet is a type of poem, and we’re going to learn about the kind written by William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare is the most famous writer in the English language. He wrote tons of famous plays in the 1500s, many of which are still famous today.
Next week, we’ll be reading Romeo and Juliet, which is full of Shakespearean sonnets. We’re going to learn all about sonnets for the next two class periods so we can be ready to analyze them when we come across one while reading the play.

5. Sonnet Notes!
Sonnets are poems about love! They don’t necessarily have to be romantic, though. Some people write sonnets about platonic love between friends or family, love between a person and their pet, or even their love for their hobbies, or nature, or a place they really love.

7. Exploring Sonnets
First, I’m going to walk you through a sonnet analysis. Make sure you follow along and write down the analysis on your sonnet handout – you will need to use it as an example for your own analysis later.
The first step of any sonnet is to label the rhyme scheme. Make sure you really have a sonnet on your hands.

8. Sonnet 130 My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun, __A__ Coral is far more red than her lips’ red. __B__ If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun, __A__ If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. __B__ I have seen roses damasked, red and white, _C___ But no such roses see I in her cheeks. _D___ And in some perfumes is there more delight __C__ Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks, __D__ I love to hear her speak, yet well I know _E___ That music hath a far more pleasing sound. __F__ I grant I never saw a goddess go, __E__ My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. __F__ And yet, by Heaven, I think my love as rare __G__ As any she belied with false compare. __G__

10. Paraphrase I have seen roses painted red and white
I have seen roses damasked, red and white, _______________________________________________ But no such roses see I in her cheeks. _______________________________________________ And in some perfumes is there more delight _______________________________________________ Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks, _______________________________________________
But I don’t see any roses in her cheeks
And some perfumes smell better
Than my gf’s smelly breath

11. Paraphrase I love to hear her speak even thought I know

13. Analyzing the Poem My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground
1. Write down one line that has a strong iambic beat. Write down the line below and label each beat – unstressed with a V and stressed with a /.
V / V / V / V / V /
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground

14. Analyzing the Poem
2. Sonnets have something called a shift. It’s where the author’s tone or meaning or topic seems to change a little. Where do you think the turn begins? How do you know?
I see a shift in the last two lines of the sonnet when Shakespeare says “And yet, by Heaven, I think my love as rare / As any she belied with false compare.” The whole poem talks about how ugly his girlfriend is compared to all of these beautiful things. But at the end of the poem, he’s saying he still thinks she’s a rare and amazing person even if he can’t truthfully compare her to beautiful things.

15. Analyzing the Poem
3. In your opinion, what point was Shakespeare trying to make in this sonnet? How do you know? You need at least three sentences.
Shakespeare is trying to say that looks aren’t everything. Throughout his sonnet, Shakespeare compares his love to lots of beautiful things like goddesses, music, and perfumes.
His love isn’t beautiful, and comparing her to these beautiful things would be a lie. However, he ends his poem saying that to him, she’s still his love and he thinks she’s something to be treasured.

16. Try it on your own!
For the rest of class, your job is to do the exact same thing on your own for Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18! Remember to look any words up that you don’t know (or ask me). If you’re stuck, let me know – I’d be happy to help.
Don’t forget to label the rhyme scheme and paraphrase the poem line by line 
If you finish early, don’t forget about your IXL – C.3 and C.4.
