Poetry Forms/Hamlet
Students are currently working on the presentations for the following project:
Poetry
Form/Pattern
Group Assignment
30pts
Your assignment is to examine a specific form of poetry. You must provide a clear explanation for the rest of the class including examples. You have to teach this. You must decide on your approach (handouts, PowerPoint, poster, etc.). You must also turn in a completed lesson plan prior to your lesson.
You must provide a poem for class discussion. Your group will lead the discussion of the poem. This includes asking questions that guide the class discussion. Be prepared with specific discussion questions. You are the expert on the poem, but you must teach it, not explain it. Your goal is to analyze the poem and how the form impacts the meaning of the poem. Your classmates will decide if you are effective. All students must participate in the discussion. It is your job to see to this.
Forms:
• English Sonnet
• Italian Sonnet
• Villanelle
• Ballad
• Ode
• Sestina
Students also received a packet of work on the first 2 acts of Hamlet which is due Wednesday.

Richard III essay
The following is due Friday 3/5:
Unlike the novelist, the writer of a play does not use his own voice and only rarely uses a narrator’s voice to guide the audience’s response to character and action.
Select a play you have read and write an essay in which you explain the techniques the playwright uses to guide his audience’s responses to the central characters in the action.
You might consider the effect on the audience of things like setting, the use of comparable and contrasting characters, and the characters’ responses to each other. Support your argument with specific references to the play. Do not give a plot summary.
You MUST select one of the following:
Richard III
Richard III Part II: Bow To Klimasthocles
