The goals for today.

You will find out that Shakespeare was a bit of a rebel in his time.

You can express your feelings either in an anti-Valentine's Day poem or in a breakup text between Romeo and Juliet.

Ugh :-(

All that romance schmomance stuff.......

Shakespeare wrote many plays, but he also wrote 130 sonnets, which are poems with a particular rhyming scheme called iambic pentameter. 

(126 of his sonnets are about a young gentleman)

There was a different beauty ideal in those times.

Shakespeare was a bit of a rebel. He went against the current morals and ideals. 

Back to our balcony scene.......

Your exercise for today is:

Instead of writing something that is fair, make something that is less fair. 

I give you a choice:

Either write an anti-Valentine's Day poem (or two)......or........write a break up scene between Romeo and Juliet. 

for your breakup text you can use:
