CHALLENGE+3

In your pairs, we would like you to review what you understand of Sonnet form. Make a list with your partner of any structures or features that you remember.

Form is central to heightening meaning in Sonnets.  Today we are going to consider meaning as well as Sonnet form. We are also going to examine the relevance of Sonnet form and meaning to an audience in today's Australian society. Things to consider are whether Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 possesses universal qualities that last through time, or does it remain relevant to a particular audience of a particular time and place.

In an interactive blog activity, you are going to discuss whether Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" is significant today. Your blogs and comments will be assessed!
