Thanks for entering into the spirit of Lit 12 today--with love's light wings we shall make it to the final exam but it will take a lot of energy and enthusiasm in order to really engage with the material. Follow the core list. We will be doing a new author each day. You are responsible for understanding the key elements of the author's bio and the works: theme, tone, literary devices.
Book club: You will need to have 10 quotations and responses for your novels in class May 28th. That day we will colour code them, create an introduction and prepare for the in-class essay.
June 1 is the test day for Unit 4 - 18th century and Romantics.
Today we did William Wordsworth's two poems, and his bio. If you were absent, read the poems and borrow the notes from a friend.
Homework: make notes on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, prepare to read his literary ballad, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, next class.
For each author of this period, be sure that you understand their relationship/contribution to the Romantic movement.
Keep reviewing the elements of Romanticism.
