Quatrain 1 Line 1: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s "day" [A] Line 2: Thou art more lovely and more "temperate" [B] Line 3: Rough winds do shake the darling "buds of May" [A] Line 4: And summer's lease hath all too "short a date" [B]

Possible Misconceptions

Overgeneralisation misconception: Poems with alternating rhyme schemes are sonnets.

Undergeneralisation misconception: All poems that follow this rhyming scheme were only written by Shakespeare.

Structure

Other units of discipline

Physical science: components of atomic molecules
Health: workout routines
Math: sequential expressions/order of operations for equations
Music: song arrangements & medleys
