Description
Sonnets can be challenging for students to understand, but this bundle will help your students through the literary analysis steps to understand them...and then write their own! Guide your students to a deeper understanding of poetry -- and empower their creative writing skills with the challenge of writing their own sonnets!
This bundle includes step-by-step analysis of two of Shakespeare's most famous sonnets:
♥ Sonnet 18 "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
♥ Sonnet 29 "When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes"
