Week of October 12th......

Honors American Literature:
We will be discussing the sonnet form and apply that knowledge to Puritan poetry, "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Huswifery." Students will also have the opportunity to write their own sonnets.


American Literature:
We will focus on Hawthorne's famous novel, The Scarlet Letter. We will focus on how Hawthorne uses symbolism and get a sense of how the Puritans saw crime and punishment by writing a Point of View journal entry.


AP Literature:
Now that we have a better understanding of British Imperialism, we are going to read two pieces, "Civil Peace" and "Shooting an Elephant" to discuss the implications of British Imperialism on those colonized and the colonizers themselves.
