I update very rarely, and never public, so you KNOW it's got to be good...

I assigned my students the task of writing a Shakespearean sonnet. We've been reading Shakespeare's poetry in preparation for the upcoming Macbeth unit. I wanted to test my students' poetry skills as well as their integrity: sophomores are tempted to plagiarize all too often, and I'd love to have tucked a good plagiarism story under my belt

Wow. I thought the third year students I've taught were a handful of crapola...no words. None.

Visiting from metaquotes. The second one actually shows some promise IMO; the rhyme scheme is right, the scansion can be made to fit with minimal squishing, the poem is a coherent whole, and there's at least an attempt made at a proper change of direction in the ending couplet.

The others... oy vey. I wonder if the "evil bunnys" were plot-bunnies?
