We completed the quiz on the Jacobean era, Civil War, and the Protectorate and late 17th century changes in literature. Make sure you take good notes as it is an open-book quiz.
Get the notes on cavalier poetry, and the carpe diem theme.
Read Andrew Marvell's poem, "To My Coy Mistress" page 277.
Next, in preparation for tomorrow's test, we worked on individual analysis of the poem and each group presented 8 lines. I found the presentations thorough, provocative and surprising--three qualities we look for in literary analysis.
Tonight: Review the notes on Medieval and Elizabethan eras, review the terms, review the authors and titles and key quotes. Note the themes and styles of each piece.
Next, study your paragraph writing. Where do you need to focus? Memorize the literary must-haves list and bring a pen and a pencil to class tomorrow. Be on time as you'll need every minute to perform well. Be sure you get a good sleep.
You are doing well. Good luck tomorrow.
