I would like you to write a letter each day this week choosing a different type each day from the list above. Twinkl.ie has many letter templates and information that may help you. Remember to use language that is suited to the letter you are writing as well as the correct format. If you are writing to a friend you can use words like “Hi”, “Thanks” & “Hope to hear from you soon”. You would not use this type of language when writing a letter to your boss ;) You could also post these letters to your friends and family and ask them to respond 1) Poetry: This week we will be looking at “Sonnet” I would like you to write a Sonnet of your own based on a topic of your choice. There are many examples online as well as the example below that may help you. Please email them to me once you have them completed as I would love to read them. Sonnet Explained A syllable is a part of a word pronounced as a unit. It is usually made up of a vowel alone or a vowel with one or more consonants. The word "Sonnet" has two syllables: Son-net; the word "introduction" has four syllables: in-tro-duc-tion. English Sonnets are a form of poetry that was created during the renaissance. English sonnets consist of 14 lines; three, four line stanzas accompanied by a two line closing stanza. The rhyming scheme for an English Sonnet is: abab cdcd efef gg This means that the first and third lines of each four line stanza rhyme and the second and fourth lines of each four line stanza rhyme. The two lines of the closing stanza should rhyme as well. Each line of the stanza should have no more and no less than ten syllables. Example of a sonnet: UNAWARE by Kaitlyn Guenther Isolation quickly overwhelms me Begging for forgiveness, a fallen hand Desolation I now begin to see Hanging by a thin thread, a single strand I watch them… Their fears, their misbehaviour Mistreat, abuse…. Completely unaware I am the land, their glorious saviour Someday they will learn to treat me with care I wish they would learn to trust each other To join as one, to stand strong together A bond, a band and a mighty brother Forever as one, a powerful tether You may not know, that fear is their captor So you may not see each special factor 3)Please remember to continue with your daily diary.
