Homework

Sophomores
Look at the assignment on pages 248-252 in your text, and make notes pertaining to the movie you've chosen to review. I'll return the work you did in class today to use, as well. Please do NOT bring a pre-written essay to class.

Juniors
Answer questions #2-5 on p237 and be ready for a quiz on "Death of Arthur." We will also start on your essay in class, so bring your sources.

Seniors
You will be writing in class tomorrow - gathering evidence from one of the two essays, formulating a thesis, and organizing your support. We will finish the essay in class Friday.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

What better way to spend Halloween than reading a story that begins with a beheading? For the next week or so, we'll be discussing Arthurian Literature, beginning with a look at " Sir Gawain and the Green Knight ," the anonymous tale of a test of courtly love, involving a supernatural green knight and a bet. For more information on the poem, read this introduction . I've also included a prose translation that you can compare with the verse translation we have in our book.

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow. Also, the senior auction project lacks one more important detail - your memories! We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
