Shakespearean Sonnet Maker

Here is a tool that I created to help write sonnets. I do not use it as a stand-alone assignment (i.e., I do not say, “Here, seventh graders, write a sonnet.”). Rather this comes at the end of a month-long period of analyzing every single poem in our textbook, listening to poets online, examining song lyrics, and even using this same form to dissect one of Shakespeare’s over 150 sonnets and then present it to the class (memorized, of course!).

The following is a PDF version of a Word document. I’m sharing it as a PDF so that the document will print correctly without dealing with changing font faces or table heights. It should be workable for anyone as is, but if you would like the Word document, drop me a message.
