a sonnet is a 14 line poem with a particular rhyme scheme. There are 2 general kinds of sonnets that are popular: The Shakespearean Sonnet and the Petrarchan Sonnet. They are both 14 lines, but the way they are broken down is different.
The Shakespearean sonnet (the harder one of the two in my opinion)
3 - rhyming quatrains written in iambic pentameter (5 feet, 10 syllables)
1 rhyming couplet to end the poem.
The rhyme scheme is as follows: abab cdcd efef gg
The petrarchan sonnet is split into two stanzas: an octave (8 lines) and a sestet (6)
The rhyme scheme is a b b a a b b a (octave)
sestet can be any of the following rhyme schemes:
c d c d c d
c d d c d c
c d e c d e
c d e c e d
c d c e d c

Do all of the lines have to be five feet,or does the whole poem have to be 5 feet?
Never mind.
is there a type of sonnet that could be four stanzas, 14 lines, folowing the ryming scheme of 'first line with third, second line with fourth' for ea stanza?
Ms. Moreno wanted me to post on the blog the missing work I was suppose to post on the blog so here it is.
Blog post for test concerns.
I think I did really good on the ELA test, but sometimes I made a careless mistake. I still need to get over a habbit of looking over the paper but not as carfully as I should
Blog post on Errors
I think the easiest thing to spot in a grammer sheet is incorrect spelling because when I read something, its like a movie in my head. Sometimes I don't know what it means and it is incorrect spelling.The hardest thing to spot is puncuation because I have a habbit of reading and my eyes just roll over the words without realizing it.
Blog post on Standards
The standard I have mastered is writing a personal reaction about and experience. I need to work on Appreciating when other students read outloud. I usually find it boaring because their voice has no entusiasm
Propaganda
Propaganda is used today through ads and a big propaganda is the election and another major propaganda is the war we are having in Iraq and Iran
