Shakespeare S Sonnets Powerpoint Project

Shakespeare’s Sonnets – PowerPoint Project

You will be working on a visual presentation of your sonnet in small groups. We will have two periods in the 1020 lab to work on these presentations. You can see an example of what I’m looking for on my website. It istitled “Sonnet 73” under “English II Documents.”

Requirements -Your PowerPoint should:

1. Create a title slide that includes your sonnet number and group members’ names.

1. In a textbox write lines from the sonnet, exactly as they appear in the original.

- Use either sets of 2 lines, or quatrains (4 lines) and the final couplet.

1. Add relevant images on each slide to add meaning to the sonnet’s text.

- You can set images as the background to slides by saving an image to your network space, right—clicking on a slide, selecting background, going to colors, and then importing the picture.

1. Be emailed as an attachment to Mr. Lorentzen at: . You should write “Shakespeare Sonnet PowerPoint” as the subject line.

Ideas for Better PowerPoints!

For a better product, try adding:

• movement of text with custom animation.
• coloring important words to highlight their meaning (a red rose might be written in red)
• music that contributes to the mood of your sonnet and your PowerPoint.

NOTE: Any music with inappropriate lyrics will result in an automatic “F” for the project and disciplinary action. Obviously, use your head and ask if you don’t know if your music is appropriate.
