This is great! Super creative and a fun way in!
Thank you this was a great prompt to use in class and bring Shakespeare and iambic pentameter to life by linking to Hip-Hop . Loved the link to the Ted Talk!
The Year 7 students really enjoyed this resource and it gave them an accessible and fun way to understand Shakespeare's use of iambic pentameter thank you!
I am a private tutor for a year 8 student and this resource was very useful for explaining clearly how sonnets work and helping him to create his own work.
My year 8 class really engaged with this and all of them rose to the challenge of writing their own sonnets.
