Due: Friday, vocabulary quiz....copy of words on Monday's blog
In class: continuing with "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning.
Looking at how literary movements parallel social change.
So where do the Victorians fit in? Sound like realism?
Fill in the following graphic organizer with the characteristics associated with Romanticism, Realism and Modernism. (class handout, copy below) If you are absent, you are responsible for this material.

Today we are focusing on the character of the Duchess and her relationship with the Duke. You will be working with partners and sharing out AS A CLASS.
The expectations are as follows:
1. Engage in a collaborative discussion; that means share your ideas. Listen and reflect on what your partner and classmate says.
2. Adhering to time
3. Remaining on task
4. By partner, I mean one person only! If you choose to work alone, that is your option. Note: tomorrow you must work with another partner.
Due by the close of class: completion of questions 1-8 from the graphic organizer we began yesterday and a quick write that answers the following: using only lines 1-8, describe the character of the Duchess, weaving in specific text from the poem.
Look over the following list of characteristics and fill in
the organizer as to which ones best apply to the Romantic, Realist and
Modernist traditions.
1.
precise details 2. loneliness, alienation 3. looks at the world optimistically 4. character more important than plot 5. no absolute truths, 6.reverence for Nature
7.concerned with the subconscious 8. events are plausible 9. implied themes 10. faith in imagination 11. strong reaction
against established religious, political, and social views 12. diction is natural, not poetic 13. interest
in the bizarre or supernatural 14. characters usually lower and middle class
15. complex ethical choices 16. abandoning of traditional rhyme schemes
and wrote in free verse.
