Sonnet

=Sonnet Assignment=

Your homework was to write a sonnet. At this time, you should have your completed sonnet in your hand. If you do not, you must complete your sonnet before you can finish the rest of the assignment.

This is your only day in the computer lab so if you do not finish, you will have to find a computer and complete the assignment on your own.

=Directions= 1. Type your sonnet in a word document. You may use any font. Include a title and please center your sonnet on the page. 2. Copy and paste your sonnet on the page again, under your original. This time, change your title to "Iambic Pentameter". 3. Make sure your font is small enough that BOTH versions of the sonnet are on one page. 4. In your second sonnet, use the formatting tools to **BOLD** and __UNDERLINE__ the stressed syllables in your iams. 5. Leave the unstressed syllables alone. 6. Make sure you type your name and class somewhere on the paper. 7. **__IF you have extra time__**, you may add a few relevant clip art pictures to your page--make sure everything else is finished first!

=Saving your work= 1. Save a copy of your work in your home folder first. 2. Then save a copy to the following location: **Common folder--Hand In--Starkey--sonnets** 3. When you save to this folder your file name must be **__your class, last name and first name.__** In that order with no spaces. EXAMPLE: **6.2smithjohn** 4. If your file is not saved correctly it will be deleted from the folder as junk.

Make a habit of saving your work every few minutes. That way if something happens you will not lose all of your work.

If the printer is working, you will need to print ONE copy of your sonnet to turn in. When you print, please **only click the print button one time.** If it doesn't print see me. **__DO NOT__** continue to try to print.
