Good morning, everyone! I hope you are all doing well. As you have probably heard, we have some new cases this week in NB.

I am assigning work for you to complete for the next two weeks. So this work is not due until Friday, June 12.

I am assigning two readings in Common Lit. These readings will finish up the unit on World War 2. I am also going to add some links to some of the movies I suggest you watch. These are just suggestions especially for those of you who really enjoyed this unit.

One of the movies I suggest you try to get ahold of is "Schindler's List". This used to be avaibale on Youtube but it is no longer, but try to find it if you can. It is a film everyone should watch.

Suggested films to watch:

Schindler's List

Judgement at Nuremberg

The Diary of Anne Frank

Hacksaw Ridge

Defiance

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".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2kF3eehxOA

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.

4. Listen to Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1raSUYAr0s0

This is a VERY long poem, but it is one of Coleridge's most famous poems. Listen to it as you watch the video of the words.

5. Read through the powerpoint on "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". This is attached below.

6. Watch the summary on Coleridge's poem, "Kubla Khan".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZD4QL8o-q8

7. Read through the notes on the poem, "Kubla Khan". These are attached below.

8. Watch the video and listen to the reading of Kubla Khan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrSDq49jqII

8. Watch the video depiction of "Kubla Khan".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKa136bgK9c

9. Complete the questions on the poems and email your responses to me. These quesitons are attached below.

AGAIN, this is a long poem but it will act as your final work for this course, so complete it the best you can and email your final work to me. IF you need any help with any of it, just call, text, message or email me and I will help you out.

ALL WORK FOR THIS COURSE MUST BE HANDED IN BY JUNE 12!!! This is so important so do your absolute best to get it all finished BEFORE next Friday.
