BATXILLERAT - Exploring Shakespeare's sonnet #18
In the presentation you can watch David Gilmour interpretation of SONNET 18, but if you need a change you can listen to Bryan Ferry's intepretation (this is an audio file).
If you need the handout associated to this activity, click here.
You may be interested in getting into metaphores. If so, you should have a look at this article from the Macmillan Dictionary Blog.
After we explored the contents of the poem, I asked my students to write their own versions of the first stanza. You can read them by clicking the COMMENTS link.
