Review/discussion of Sir Gawain and the literary criticism assigned. Review of Courtly Love. Review of story of Finn.
I will make a hand-out of the story of Finn and the story of Oisin. You are to read this quietly and then we will discuss it too.
We will look at a couple of shorter poems by William Butler Yeats--poems with Irish mythological references.
Thursday
Reading quiz that will include all of Sir Gawain (Parts 2-4), Finn's story, Oisin's story, and Courtly Love.
If everyone has taken the last quiz (the one on book one of Gawain and information on Irish mythological terms), I will give those back and we will go over them.
Students will begin reading "The Wanderings of Oisin." You will finish it for next Tuesday.
