This 32-slide lesson explores William Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 130’.
The lesson considers what we might expect typical love poetry to entail and how Shakespeare subverts our expectations. Students are prompted to question stereotypical depictions of romance and romantic imagery, and to think about how Shakespeare plays with the sonnet form itself.
Questions, discussion points, and tasks are featured throughout, including an analytical ‘mini-essay’ in response to a question. The lesson ends with a creative writing (poetry) task that could be set in class or as a homework activity.
This lesson is ideal for KS3.
A copy of the poem (with glossary) is included.
