Sonnet: Final Draft
Remember that sonnets follow a very specific structure: 14 lines, 3 quatrains that function like paragraphs with different ideas in each, then a turn- a plot twist- that reveals the overall purpose at the end. Each line should also be 10 syllables: for the first quatrain only, identify this with an alternating regular and bold font like we practiced (see below).

From ANCient GRUDGE break TO new MUtinY, A
Where CIVil BLOOD makes CIVil HANDS unclEAN. B

Each section should be a bit different! What’s the big idea?
