  25. How to… • Across the top of your paper, write 5-6 places that you have either lived or visited…cities, states, countries, addresses. 2. Choose the two places that are easiest to rhyme (this may take some experimenting and more than one try). You may help each other brainstorm rhyming words. Write those rhyming words next the locations you have picked. Example: Beijing: bring, fling, king, Ming, opening, ring, sing, sling. 4. Use those rhyming words to help you create your own limerick 3. Use past tense

I keep playing with my friends. 

  32. Sonnet • A 14 line poem with a set rhyme scheme and pattern ABAB CDCD EFEF GG • A typical line of a sonnet has ten syllables and is written in Iambic Pentameter. This means that every other syllable is accented, so it sounds sing-songy • Made famous by William Shakespeare

  33. SONNET 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
