Into the New Historicist Lens

All classes: You now have a big green textbook, which will you use to read pages 4-20 this weekend. As you learn about the Anglo Saxons, write a list of their ideologies and behaviors to share in class on Monday. The last part of the reading sets up Beowulf, which will be on our agenda next week. And, do not forget that your second book card is due on Friday, September 23. And, make sure to turn in your Kate Chopin text by September 23. Write your name on the inside front cover for me.

2: We completed the vocab quiz for unit 2, which means any absent students will need to make up the quiz by Tuesday. Then, we peer evaluated your free response essays, which were then collected by me. To end the hour, we started to look at New Historicist Criticism, which deals with ideologies of the past and how they are represented to a modern culture. We will continue the background of this critical lens on Monday, and hopefully meet Beowulf and that pesky descendant of Cain.

4: We reviewed vocab, which means you will be taking the quiz on Monday. Then, we did everything listed under second hour.
