Original Sonnet Writing & Presentation Rubric 
Original Sonnet Writing & Presentation Rubric
Directions: You will create your own 14-line sonnet. Each line needs to be exactly 10 syllables (don’t worry about the iambic part of the iambic pentameter – the 10 syllables will be enough of a challenge) and the poem needs to follow the rhyme scheme (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) discussed today in class. For your rough draft, use a pencil because you’ll probably need to do some erasing. You will recite your Sonnet. For the presentation you will need a slide wit a minimum of 8 pictures.
