Good morning, everyone! I hope you are all doing well. As you have probably heard, we have some new cases this week in NB. Please know that this old virus is still with us and please, please, please, continue to follow the directions of our public health officials - social distance yourselves, wear your masks when you can not and continue to wash your hands. Be safe!

Well, you are almost finished your unit work for the Romantic poets. Last week, you got a little taste of William Wordsworth and read "Tintern Abbey". If you have not sent me your work for this, please do so ASAP.

This week, I am posting all of the work you need to finish for the nexdt two weeks. So you have until June 12 to get EVERYTHING passed in to me IF you want to receive the CREDIT. I CAN NOT give you any time AFTER June 12, so get all of your work sent to me BEFORE this date.

You will learn a little bit about the final poet for this unit, Samuel Coleridge. Now, he is a very complex poet. He has a bit of a sad story and, unfortunately, his poems were usually written during or after a drug-induced state. But, I am giving him to you this week to challenge you a little. Go through the steps I lay out carefully and slowly and you will be fine.

1. Watch the little video on Coleridge's life:

2. Watch the little summary for Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

3. Watch this film of Coleridge's poem. It will make the poem a little easier to understand because it gives you a visual summary of what is happening to the mariner. This is a LONG poem but a good poem with a grteat message.
