We went over the unit 3 exams and I emphasized how key it is to answer the question in the thesis statement of any paragraph on a test. Please, practice this crucial step. The thesis is your first impression and you want to impress/startle/wake up the marker!!
Next, we reveiwed key quotes from units 3 and 4. Make sure that you are reviewing terms, authors and titles and key quotes on a nightly basis now.
We took notes on two new poets today--Emily Bronte and Matthew Arnold and read two poems on the core list by these wonderful poets.
Review the following terms:
dramatic monologue
pathetic fallacy
extended metaphor
Be sure to get the notes and re-read the poems several times. What connections can you make to the themes and imagery here compared to the earlier Romantic poets?
How does Arnold's poem seem modern?
Tonight: REVIEW. Be ready to study Hardy in the morning.
