Assess students' ability to compose a 14-line sonnet in iambic pentameter that deliberately subverts Shakespearean conventions to critique a contemporary social issue. Scope: produce a tightly controlled 14-line poem demonstrating consistent iambic pentameter (with occasional, purposeful substitutions allowed), a purposeful rhyme scheme and a clear volta that effects a turn in argument or tone, intentional subversions of Shakespearean norms (form, diction, speaker, gender/authority, thematic inversion), effective use of poetic devices, and coherent thematic development; evaluation emphasizes prosody, rhetorical clarity, inventive subversion, and how the volta advances the critique.
