Monday, January 4

Mr. P reminded students about the deadline (a week from Friday) for the outside reading assignment. See Documents page for a copy of the assignment sheet.

In preparation for entering the Romantic period in American Literature, we discussed the meaning of the term "Romantic" in the relevant sense and its origins, and compared Romanticism with Classicism, and the Romantic Age with the "Age of Reason" (aka the Enlightenment).

HW due Tuesday:
Read pages 138-150 in Elements of Literature ("American Romanticism") and prepare for a quiz on Tuesday over the reading.
