Lit 12, Thurs. June 2

Thanks to Claire for her wonderful Shakespeare cake covered in fondant, a covering Ms. Stenson had never heard of before.

We took notes on Thomas Hardy and on Emily Dickinson. Emily is not in the textbook so google her bio.
Also, her poem, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death--" is not in the text. Ask me for a copy.

We read and discussed both poems.

Next, we reviewed quotes from Milton to Arnold and most people were starting to be able to recognize/distinguish all of the Romantics. Each night, read and ponder a poem or two until you can identify its themes/techniques/quotations. You'll be glad you did. The final exam schedule is posted on the website now so be sure to check it.

If you are planning to write the English 12 mock exam, Fri. June 10 from 2:30 to 5:30, you need to let me know as the deadline to sign up is tomorrow.

Thanks.

We'll be starting our 20th century notes soon. You may begin! We've finished the Romantic section.

We do "Ducle et Decorum Est" tomorrow. An amazing WW1 poem.
