Additional Info
Literary Term #25: 1st-Person Point of View
One single character within the story is narrating (telling) the story. This is usually a main character, but this is not always the case. You will know it is first-person by the use of the word "I."

Allusion #25: Bury the Hatchet

This phrase is an allusion to the figurative or literal practice of putting away the tomahawk at the end of hostilities among or by Native Americans in the Eastern United States, specifically concerning the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy and in Iroquois custom in general. Weapons were to be buried or otherwise stored away in time of peace. Washington Irving used the phrase in Captain Bonneville (1837) to describe a peaceful meeting among Indian chiefs.

Today, you will work on your sonnet packet, beginning with the analysis of the Shakespeare sonnet on the front. You may work with a partner in your immediate area, if you would like. 

We will talk through the paraphrasing together after you've given it a shot. If you finish all the activities, you may begin to work on your own sonnet. Again, I suggest you use a pencil since you're going to want to change things as you write.
