Wednesday, December 8

We looked at students imitations of Hiawatha addressing what makes Hiawatha a Romantic poem and discussed the question. Next we read "Hiawatha's Childhood" aloud, then proceeded to another famous trochaic-meter American poem of the mid-19th century, Poe's "The Raven."

HW due Friday:
Read "The American Renaissance" on pp. 206-214 of the textbook and prepare for a quiz over it.
