Grade 7 Verse and Prose Sonnets
A Resource Pack for Speech and Drama Teachers
As promised - here’s the resource pack, full of sonnets suitable for Grade 7 Verse and Prose students that have been tried and tested by members of this community.
It currently contains 11 sonnets by poets who are not Shakespeare, as well as a couple of links to sonnets that are still in copyright. I can add to it and update it, so please leave recommendations in the comments and the resource pack can grow and grow! You can download the latest version below.
Would you like me to add a commentary and analysis of each sonnet? I don’t want to take the fun away from you, if you prefer to discover your own meaning while working with students! Let me know in the comments…
You can find even more modern sonnets in our publication: Poetry for Performance (this is where the sonnets by Kelly Davis and Susan Rogerson are taken from, so if you like these you’ll find more in this collection:
