Greetings APEs!
Thanks to those who came for the mock exam on Saturday. I appreciate your extra effort. And for those who did not, do not think this means you cannot learn from the March session that reviews the exam. I expect to see more of you there.
Keep reading The Turn of the Screw at home, and be prepared for a discussion session and essay on that text. Also, complete a MWDS on the novella and upload it to Moodle by Jan. 21. In the interim, we will delve more deeply into poetry, beginning with a discussion of the play W;t. It may seem odd to start a study of poetry with a play, but trust me, it is not. The play revolves around a professor of 17th c. poetry, specifically John Donne's Holy Sonnets, and her epiphanic (yes, that is a word) understanding of them, not as a teacher of poetry, but as a student of life...and death.
I will be giving a list of poetry to read at home for discussion in class. Be prepared. Don't come cold...I will know.
Next week we will resume our vocabulary quizzes.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
