Sonnet Lesson Pack

The Sonnet Lessons- UPDATED as of 12/06 

AS promised, I updated the sonnet lessons with models, some definitions, and links (the blue rectangular outlines are links) to other sources to help guide you through these lessons. The heading above is your link to these updates.

1. I'll continue to update the "I do/We do" lesson models as we move forward, so download this and when I announce the updates just download and replace the old pdf with the new one.

2. These read best on a tablet or computer, but all your phones should have a good pdf viewer as well.

3. Remember, you have to use your personal Gmail to access any of the documents in this DRIVE.

Faulkner Journal Template

I also added another example or two to help you with journal entries 1 and 5. Please compose your responses AFTER the models, so that you'll always have them as a reference.

Remember to keep up with your reading calendar because there will be a reading quiz when we return. 

Additionally, until we finish the novel and for every major work thereafter, after we quiz we will always talk about YOUR reading and YOUR thoughts before moving on to the next mini lesson. Believe me when I say I am much more interested in your ideas than mine, so please "Bring your BEST and SHARE!" Your inquiry discussions will be well rewarded in the grade book as long as you are leading the discussion and asking questions.
