Performing Sonnets

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students use Shakespearean sonnets as part of a poetry analysis lesson. In this sonnet lesson, students perform a sonnet by Shakespeare but treat it as a script to be acted out. Students work in pairs to create motions for two lines from the poem and teach them to the entire class. Students discuss and write how they motions help them understand the poem.
