Greetings Seniors!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday. Can you believe we are only a few weeks from Christmas break? Time certainly does fly! Now that we are finished with the Canterbury Tales, it is time to learn about my favorite part of British literature: Arthurian Legend. We will also complete our current set of allusions and have a quiz on them by next week. Don't forget your vocabulary quiz on lesson 12.
This is a B week, so we meet twice. On Monday we will review vocabulary for a quiz on Thursday. We will read the introduction to Arthurian romances and chart out the family tree of Arthur. On Thursday, after the quiz, we will read from Le Morte de Arthur. If time permits, I will give you and overview of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The excerpt in your books is the end of the story, so I want to give you some of the background.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
