Good morning Seniors!
Welcome to another of the final few weeks of your high school career! I certainly hope you all had a restful weekend. Below is a list of the tasks I hope for us to accomplish this week.
On Monday we will be reading excerpts from Paradise Lost. This epic is pretty difficult, so we will stop often and review. For your better understanding of the text, I am including here a study guide with summaries. It also contains some amazing artwork inspired by the text that we will look at during class. Because we will be reading most every day for the rest of the year, be sure to bring your literature books every day from here on out.
On Wednesday we will continue with our study of Paradise Lost and take a look at Bunyons's Pilgrim's Progress. This text is an allegory in the truest sense of the word. You will note how each character's name indicates the concept or theme he symbolizes.
Thursday we will have quizzes on lessons 16-17 in your vocabulary workbook, so be sure to do the practice activities. We will also read and overview of the Enlightenment period, so again, bring your books.
See you in class.
Mrs. SO
