Soneto XXIII

by Spanish Siglo de Oro writer Garcilaso de la Vega was the inspiration for our first project of the trimester. After reading it several times, analyzing its rhyme pattern, studying its rhetoric devices and literary themes, and learning about its author, students had the choice to write an original sonnet or an opinion essay based on the poem’s central theme: the enjoyment of youth.
