In class: We began class with lesson 5 in our sentence diagramming books and then wrapped up Bryant's "To a Waterfowl. After handing out the vocab list for this unit (hooray! No quizzes!) we went into some background information on American Gothic Literature and Edgar Allan Poe. From there, we discussed the use and forms of symbolism. Finally, students were given some class time to begin reading Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" and compete a reading guide. At Home: Begin completing the first vocab list. Your list is not due until the first day of next week. We will pick up the rest of "Masque" next class period! In class: Today we began by completing lesson 3 and 4 in our Sentence Diagramming packets on compound subjects an verbs. From there, we recapped the Dead Poet Society video and where we saw elements of Classicism and Romanticism. Finally, students worked in pairs to paraphrase and discuss William Cullen Bryant's "To a Waterfowl" as an example of a Romantic poem. At Home: Finish any remaining questions not completed in class on your poem worksheet!
