Wakie, Wakie Bloggers!

Let's be diligent with blogging on time, please. No later than 9pm on class nights. Thank you.

Here is the Bonus assignment in more detail:
Write an exchange of letters (6 in total) between two authors of differing periods or styles.
(e.g. Puritan/Cavalier, Metaphysical/ Enlightenment, Enlightenment/Romantic)

I will be looking for the following:

  • offer characterizations consistent with the themes
  • use detail from the works/author bios to add interest and depth to your roles
  • sustain roles and relationships with the other characters
  • emphasize the emotions and attitudes of the characters through the voice of the letter
  • model the language on the language of the works
  • draw on your knowledge of the works to respond to questions from the other character/author

This may seem like a lot of criteria but really I am just looking for a maintained consistency in the letters and evidence that the fictional pieces accurately reflect the authors and the time in which they existed.

Due toward the end of the Victorian period. There will be some flexibility around the date but it will be in the near future as we are fully into this unit.

(This project is wildly creative, I hope you will see the fun in it and not miss this opportunity)
