If you would like to begin the test early tomorrow, meet in room 233 as soon as you have eaten lunch. 12:30 ish.
If you have a spare period 5, you can finish the test in the English dept. office.
If you have a really good reason why you can't come at lunch and you feel you need more time for the essay section, only, you may come to room 233 at 3:25 to finish as I have a meeting in the library so I'll be here late on Friday.
For the essay section of the test, choose three poems from the Romantic section of the unit.
Find all the similarities in theme, tone, language, expression, memorize a quote from each and create a thesis statement which brings the three poems together.
Read the sample essays I gave you. Study previous essays that you have written. Re-read the essay checklist sheets I gave you for Lear.
Review and memorize the literary must-haves sheet.
The key to a powerful, persuastive literary essay is to refer to specifc images, lines, or forms in the poem and to discuss how each one is key to your thesis. You must prove your thesis. You must provide evidence for all of your opinions. You must not simply re-tell the poem's plot or speak in platitudes about what the poem represents about Romantic poetry. I am looking for your personal views, supported by textual analysis.
Good luck.
