Monday - Romantics

Today we are going to take a quiz on the "Transcendentalists" and then move on to the Fireside poets and Longfellow.

Learning Goal: Analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure specific parts of a text contribute to the overall meaning of a text as a whole.  

Objective: Be able to discuss the importance of rhyme scheme and stanza structure. 

Today, we are going read Longfellow's poem "A Psalm of Life" and the "The Tide Falls" and relate it to the question: What Gives Life Purpose.  We will look at rhyme scheme and stanza structure.  At the end of class you will write a blog about how rhyme scheme and stanza structure help determine meaning in this poem.
