Greetings young APEs!
We have so much to do and so little time!
This week we will continue out study of Puritans and their literature. Last week we looked at the poetry of Anne Brastreet and discussed how to complete a Major Works Data Sheet. This week we will revisit one of Bradstreet's poems and compare and contrast it will that of a non Puritan poem by Sor Juana on a similar thematic topic to see if we can differentiate between them based on style or content.
We will also read and discuss two poems by Edward Taylor, "Huswifery" and "Upon a Wasp Chilled With Cold," and further discuss and analyze the use of conceit in poetry. Should time permit, we will read and illustrate the imagery in the infamous sermon by Jonathan Edwards, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
Don't forget to upload your MWDS on The Scarlet Letter on or before January 21. There is a link to a blank MWDS on my moodle as well. We will also be writing an in-class essay on the novel in class in the coming days. And don't forget to study your Lesson 11 vocabulary for a quiz this week.
Like I said...so much to do....so little time!
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
