Quote Logs due Wed. Bring them Tues. as you'll have some time to work on them. Wednesday, we'll be working with them all block and then Thursday you write the essay and submit the quote log.
Today, we completed notes on John Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning." We also read Donne's Holy Sonnet 6, "Death, Be Not Proud." Be sure to get the notes on these two poems as they are both on the core and they represent the genre called Metaphysical poetry.
We were then introduced to Samuel Pepys diary (1660). This piece of journalism is a realistic slice of late Renaissance 17th century life. It's also on your core list.
Read it carefully and make notes on each paragraph. Look for what the document reveals about this time period in history. Be prepared to support your opinions with evidence from the text.
Tuesday: We start Milton. You may wish to get a head start on the epic poem, Paradise Lost and the sonnet, "On His Blindness".
After spring break, we start Hamlet.
