On today's episode of Literature 12, we reviewed and discussed "To An Athlete Dying Young" and "Is My Team Ploughing" by A.E. Housman. After that, we read Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet 43, "Song" by Emily Brontë, and the sections on The English Novel and The Growth of the English Language. Since we've wrapped up this age, we'll be having our unit test on Tuesday composed of the following:
- Name That Poet - given a line or two from some poems we've studied, if you know it, name the poet.
- *Define the Underline(d) - give the definitions for 5 different underlined words from the lines of poetry mentioned above
- Fill-in-the-Blanks
- Quotes - provide the titles and meanings of each quote
- One-Paragraph Response (3x)
*study tip: re-read the poems we've looked at in this unit, and define the words you're unfamiliar with in each poem.
IN ADDITION we will be tested on the History section for this Age on Thursday (to make things easier). Just for fun (and to get some studying done without actually studying), check out Mr. Osborne's 8-minute video on the Victorian Age here.
Haaaaaave a good long weekend!
