The Sonnet
- We examined and articulated the rhythm and rhyme of the Shakespeare sonnet we annotated yesterday.
- We discussed the first eight lines of the sonnet, per your annotations, and per my ideas.
- I handed out the skeleton for writing your own sonnet, and we spent a few minutes creating two lines of a class sonnet, just to see how long the process might take.

Due Dates/Homework
- 13,000 grains of rice on free rice by classtime tomorrow, Friday
