 * 2 forms from Group 1
 * 1 form from Group 2
 * 1 form from Group 3
 * 1 sonnet (Petrarchan on Shakespearean)

Some forms follow very strict rules and others have many variations. Use this website ([|http://www.elfwood.com/farp/thewriting/27brianforms/27brianforms.html#rondeau]) as point of reference for the formed poetry you create. Have fun with this assignment and do it meaningfully!
