January 12-16

I don't know what happened; I posted this blog earlier today. Oh well, here goes.

Tuesday
No quiz. I just did not have the energy. You will, however, receive a hand-out. Fourth Period: You are getting one that asks you to compare one set of sonnets with the other. Make sure that you highlight the specific parts and that you write out what it is and why. Don't use broad generalizations, but specifics.

When you finish, you'll get a second on. It will remind you of some of the rules of Courtly Love. It will also tell the story of Ovid's "Echo and Narcissus." You will be asked to make parallels.

You will get two new sets of poems, a single one by Petrarch and two by Shakespeare. You must answer the questions--again, including the specific words and phrases.


Thursday

We'll go over the sonnet exercizes and then talk about what has happened over the last semester.

Friday
Review.
