American Lit--Friday, Sept 27

Objective: What is a literary time period? What is Romanticism?

1- skill of the day--read for 15 minutes
2- Students mapped out periods of time in their lives. They were able to then identify "Eras" in their lives--junior high, 10th, and 11th grade.

Just as students have eras in their lives, America has literature (writing) time periods.


3- We looked at the difference between the Age of Reason and the Romantic Time Period (Romanticism)


Students viewed the following power point and took more notes about Romanticism. Please view the power point.

4- Students looked at two pieces of art--one from the Age of Reason and one from the Romantic Era. Students analyzed how each painting represented/depicted/showed its time period.


5- Exit Card--If you were absent you'll need to do this-- After looking over the blog, class notes, and power point, answer the following questions on a note card 
  • what were the characteristics of The Age of Reason?
  • Why did the people feel they needed to change or depart from the Age of Reason towards the Romantic time period?
  • What were the characteristics of Romanticism?

Homework: NONE
