Hello Seniors!
This will be a very short week for us. We will meet but once, since Monday was a holiday. So, on Thursday we will review vocabulary for next week's quiz on lesson 14, and we will finish reading the play Dr. Faustus. We will discuss the various themes of the play and revisit the opening Chorus to discuss the implications in it and its incongruity with other scenes in the play. What, specifically, are the play and the Chorus saying about predestination and free will? Why is it significant that they seem to not match up? What might have been Marlowe's purpose in writing this conflicting message?
Do not forget that you will be required, in lieu of a test, to write an essay on Dr. Faustus. Read the list of topics and choose one. Your essays are due January 23 and must be uploaded to Moodle.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
