Multimedia Sonnet Project - Mrs. Loversky: Home

Project Home

The newest way to present your poem is with video! Think in terms of a music video or even a movie trailer, but  the main difference is that a movie trailer already has visual images to work with - clips from the film. With your sonnet, you have to convert the written words into visual images. The trick is to convey a sense of what the poem is about without distracting your viewer with disharmonious sounds or images.

Your goal is two-fold:  you must write an original sonnet following the sonnet guidelines and expectations; then you must create a multimedia presentation that combines your words with images and sounds that bring your poem to life.
