Your teacher probably wants you to say that a Shakespearean sonnet does not have a volta (the change in point of view which occurs between Octave and Sestet which is the defining characteristic of the Petrarchan sonnet).This isn't quite true. Several of Shakespeare's sonnets have very obvious voltas. One of the most interesting is sonnet LX where the volta appears to fall between lines 7 and 8, making an interestingly asymmetric movement which I have seen nowhere else in poetry.But Shakespearean sonnets don't usually have voltas, in fact only an author as daring as Shakespeare would even think of giving a Shakespearean sonnet a volta. (Though Donne, I suppose, was such another).
