Today, we reviewed Paul Revere and talked about how Longfellow "romanticized" the story. We also read "Thanatopsis" on page 167 and "The Cross of Snow" on page 173. Read the author biographies and the background to the poem before you read; they will help you better appreciate the poems. We examined the poems and looked for examples of romantic ideals in each poem. We also compared Bryant's "Thanatopsis" to Edgar Allan Poe's "Conquering Worm."
Also, practice for Vocab chapters 4 & 5 is due in class on Thursday. See me for this handout.
Tomorrow, we will be in the lab for Study Island. You also need to have your book picked out by tomorrow. We will have in-class reading time on Thursday.
