Alexa and I read and discussed three of Shakespeare's most popular sonnets. Sonnets 18, 30, 33 all deal with love and loss which fits nicely with the themes in the last two novels that Alexa has read. We discussed composing a Shakespearean sonnet. We looked at examples. We also discussed the writing of a senior reflection which Alexa has decided to write instead. She will compose a narrative of her early, middle and high school years as a senior reflection as she prepares to graduate.
