Animating Sonnets

11/11/2020

I'm sitting here - after putting in five hours on a non-school day - trying to think of a witty funny way to introduce the next project my senior AP Literature students and I are going to try out. 

And I got nothing.

It's like I told my brother tonight: "2020 isn't about inspiration. It's about survival." (He made the woeful mistake of allowing me to talk about school). 

Therefore, no bells and whistles.

In putting this unit together, I wanted something that would allow me to get students to think about poetic form (sonnets, in particular) but tie the bigger meaning of structure in poetry. In preparation for creating their sonnets, students will think about the function of each quatrain as well as the final couplet. Then, I'm going to set them free to think about how to depict that meaning.

Process:
  • Day 1: We are going to look at my sample and complete a storyboard, or planning sheet, for their sonnets.
  • Day 2: Our tech integrationist (I know... we're very lucky) is coming in to teach them animation in Keynote.
  • Day 3-4: Work time! My kids actually have 12 days to work on this, but they also have virtual work when I don't see them.




​Materials:


You'll notice my final product definitely ventured from the storyboard. (Animating is COMPLICATED. Ha ha).
