Daily Log

Tuesday, December 2

Students returned their copies of Frederick Douglass's Narrative, and Mr. Potratz introduced the new unit, which involves a return to the textbook, specifically to the section on American Romanticism.

Next, as our farewell to the slavery question (at least for now) we listened to interviews with former slaves as recorded by workers with the Federal Writers' Project of the New Deal era.

Finally, we listened to selected turkey narratives written by members of the class.

HW due Wednesday:
Read carefully pages 138-150 in Elements of Literature, the introductory essay on the Romantic period. We will begin class with a quiz over the reading.
