Our Last Anglo Saxon Text

1. We finished our 20 words from the hybrid Unit 3/4 vocab unit. Review will be Tuesday and the quiz will be Wednesday.
2. We read our last Anglo Saxon test, "The Wife's Lament." I am sad we are leaving the Anglo Saxons behind. They were such a fun-loving, war-hungering, storytelling group. In class, we worked on two interpretations: the clan exile versus the husband exile. In groups, we determined a theme for the poem and identified literary devices. Then, in a 10 minute solo burst of writing, we produced a paragraph that connected one literary device to the theme of the text.
3. The New Historicist Essay has arrived, and it is ready for your analysis. 
4. The Jane Eyre New Historicist Essay example -- minus evidence -- provides a sample on how texts can exhibit the ideologies of old and still exhibit a more round picture of the ideology.
5. You have a chart to help you with prewriting this weekend. Fill out as much information you can -- this will act as an outline for your essay.
6. Time to move from college discussion to AP prompt writing. Timed poetry prompt on Monday to assess your skills at this time. 

And, here are all my favorite Jane Eyres...

I guess this means I will have to create a blog about my favorite Mr. Rochesters! I think Toby Stephens is the best one thus far!
