Shakespeare Revealed

Recently on Brydseed I read the statement "structure leads to creativity" and raised this discussion with the Year 7/8 Inquiry group. While we certainly don't all agree the students did agree to think about this idea.

We all know William Shakespeare wrote a multitude of plays but how familiar are we with his poetry? 404 years ago Shakespeare wrote Sonnet 18, one of the most famous love poems of all time. After some research into "What makes a sonnet a sonnet?" we discovered there are very strict rules and lots of them. We also discovered that Shakespeare not only followed these rules but created them!

Follow our work as we attempt to write our own sonnets. Wish us luck!
