Monday January 5th-Friday January 9th The Restoration & Intro to Pre-Romanticism Due THIS lab day: Yourself. Make sure you are here as vital information about the semester will be given out, including final exam details. There will be a test on the Restoration on THIS lab day. In-Class: Restoration Test. We will go over the Plague Year and the Diary. I will also go over Burns' poems so you can create your own next week. Burns' poems marks the end of standard eighteenth century work and introduces us to Pre-Romantic poetry. Assignments: Read Burns' poetry on pages 538--548. Have a careful look at the difference in the language used when writing is placed in Scottish dialect. Once you feel you have somewhat mastered how Scottish poetry looks and feels, write your own poem using the same structure as Burns' To a Louse and To a Mouse. Be sure to write as if the poem were to be read aloud in Scottish. Exam Information: The following pieces need reviewing and preparing for your final exam. My advice is to skim each section carefully, read your notes and try to memorize as much information as possible for the final. By the way, you will need your ID card upon return from exams so that you can check out Frankenstein. Click here for notes that may be of some help.
STUDY FOR THE FINAL EXAM WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14TH! SEE LIST BELOW....
Links: The Scottish Poetry Library Groundskeeper Willy Speaks Scottish English to Scottish Dictionary Calver's terrible home-made Scottish poem Background Information: Scots developed out of the northern dialects of Old English as spoken in Scotland, while what became the standard language in England developed out of the southern dialects of Old English. Although modernly both Scots and English are spoken in Scotland, this was not true in the later Middle Ages.
