Ash Wednesday, 2/18/15: Sonnets and Such

 Open

• Grammar: Punctuate:
  • Yet even now declares the Lord
    return to me with all your heart
    with fasting with weeping and with mourning and rend your hearts and not your garments (ESV Joel 2.12)

* Exercise: Read this poem and locate the volta or shift or turning point.  Most sonnets have a volta.  You'll learn to find them; it will assist your interpretive skills.

• Petrarch  

• Let's try the same thing again:
• Sonnet CXXX by William Shakespeare

• Notice any difference in the volta placement? 

* Add to Terms: The Sonnet Definition

* Begin an AG Poem in Your Composition Book

• Thirty years ago, Arturo Flores started the men's soccer team I've played on in Watsonville: Real Cueramaro. 

• Chaucer Editors: Please write the names on the board of any student who needs to send you a piece of the project.  Please strike the name out when you receive what you need.  Thank you.
