Different didactic tools are provided here.
The downloadable file on top of the page shows the texts of three sonnets by Shakespeare: sonnet 18 Shall I Compare Thee, sonnet 12 When I Do Count the Clock That Tells the Time, sonnet 130 My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing like the Sun.
A brochure is also provided. It contains a wordlist, the poem and its translation of the poem prepared by some students of mine.
