LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED RIIIIIIGHT

Oh hey my fellow lit loving peers,
Today in class we took a long and tedious test and if you finished the essay/ quotes snaps for you!. 
For this lovely last weekend of November  you can ring in the new  December festivities by diving into the cavity of our big bad Literature textbk and turning to page 319 and starting the astrological Pilgrims Progress. After you're doing reading this bliss of a tale get a paper and pen perhaps even maybe a word document, get creative, and do the good ol' reading check questions

So get your engines a revving and get lost in the intoxicating words of John Bunyan.

Авантура кроз књижевност

Hello future leaders of the free world.
 
Today in the class of english literature we went over Holy Sonnets 6 & 10. Our mission of the class was to complete the works of Mr. Dunne but we did not reach that goal, therefore y'all are required to pick up the monstrous Adventures in English Literature books and read 'Meditation 17'... and of course do the questions. All does not end there though, while you are adventuring through English Literature you must also explore the life of George Herbert on page 273. Once you have completed this you can read 'Easter Wings' and complete the corresponding questions

See ya laters alligators

LITeraly our homework




Hello my lit infuzed crazies, shall I compare thee to a homeworks day... I shall not for that is insulting but i shall tell you that you must and I mean must read sonnets 6 and 10 and do the questions without hesitation. For recap on what we did thursday, we went over John Donne's poem "a valediction: forbidding mourning" which, interesting fact is Mrs. Loconte's most favourite poet. Now I must go, i know you just can't get enough of my blogging but this is my valediction.

KOWABUNGA, BRAH

Whuzzgood dawgs,

Lets get crackalackin on thiss since its already the AM and weve almost run outta time (my condolences on the late post folks: I was scatterbrained this evening yet again!) So today in class we went over our homework from Thursday (the 10 response questions on the Renaissance Era), and were sprung with a lil mini in class essay (DW absentees, it was only 300-500 words).
- Now onto homework...essentially you're gonna want to flick a page or two out and about to 261 in that grand ole textbook of yours, enlighten yo minds with the text from 'The Growth of the English Language'.
- Après ça yalls are gonna hussle on over to pages 260-267, kick up those calloused heels of yours, ease those worries and thumb on through. Next, you can go ahead and pull out that fine lookin handout and in the wise words of mi amiga Mrs. Loconte, 'yall best try that on for size'.

WARNING: if you have yet to read the sections on the Jacobean Era AND/OR John Dunn's Bio, well then PULL IT TOGETHER, you're fallin behind gurl! Take this time to do that right about... 


now. 


OVER AND OUT.

sincerely,

Straight Up Literature

So on Thursday we read about the Jacobean Era and got into some great riveting discussions about the era and  how differently they dressed and wrote. We also continued Tuesdays discussion of Shakespeare's relationship status which was extremely enticing.. For homework all you need to do is read the rest of the Jacobean era and loose yourself in a time of old literature. Simple, yet enticing .
happy reading
