2: We started class by analyzing the content, quatrains/couplets, rhyme scheme, and iambic pentameter of Sonnets 116 & 130. As noted, we saw an example of feminine rhyme, an added unstressed syllable, and forced rhyme. Sonnet 130, a personally favorite, does satirize Petrarchan symbolism and romantic vision, migrating the stereotypical beautiful markers to realistic flaws that represent love and affection. The last moments reviewed MC strategies (remember POE, bing, close read the passage, read the questions first - if you are so inclined). For homework, complete the MC questions. Do alone and be honest -- this is not for a grade.

Galloping Workout
The galloping continues as fourth hour know is part of our daily workout routine!

4: Fourth hour went wild with galloping today -- jumping, balletic movements, and the semblance of a Shakespearian mosh pit. After learning to gallop, we worked on Sonnet 116, breaking down the content, rhyme scheme, and iambic pentameter. (Did we see some feminine rhyme, added unstressed syllables, and forced rhyme?) For homework, break down Sonnet 130 in the same fashion. We will analyze it on Thursday and do some galloping!
