Each of you needs to choose a different literary movement, research it - the characteristics, major themes, styles, employment of literary devices, authors, and bring one example of a poem from the period to share with the class and to discuss. You'll need to post all of these things on your blog so that your classmates can use it to study.

Lit Movements:

Renaissance
Metaphysical Poets
Neo-Classical or Augustan
Romantic
Transcendentalist
Modernism
Harlem Renaissance
Postmodernism:
Confessional Poets
Beat Poets
New York School of Poets
Black Mountain Poets
Black Arts Movement

Please start compiling note cards of literary devices.

As we review for the AP Test you should spend an hour or so each night looking or reviewing poems from various periods of literature. We will look at each period briefly and examine some of the poems again for ideas.

The first period that you should reacquaint yourself with is the metaphysical poets. Remember John Donne is the greatest poet of this movement.

Go here for a website with an overview of the movement and many poems by each of the major poets.

You should also check out this site.

For the Augustans you should concentrate mainly on Alexander Pope. Read "Essay on Criticism" and "Rape of Lock". Pay attention to the heroic couplets.

Go here for Pope's work on-line. 

 

Friday

Today I want to give you some time to go back and look over your journals and essays and prepare for the OPEN PROMPT questions. Choose two books - 1) The book you want to write on; and 2) A fallback book - just in case. Make sure you know themes (overarching themes); characters; specific scenes (to write about); and some literary devices that reinforce themes. My guess is that the question is going to be character related.

 

Thursday

 Today I want to look at the prose question and the poetry question.
