I hope you are all doing well and enjoying some long awaited sunshine and warmer days. But, I also hope you are enjoying your new two household bubble!

Thank you for completing your Cell Phone Character assignments. I loved reading them. Please continue to read from your chosen novels. You all know how important it is to keep up with your reading. It really pays off and helps your brains immensely!

So, if we were in school, we would be starting the unit called "The Romantic POets". Now, this is a challenging unit during normal school circumstances so it will be even more so for you as you are learning from home. But, please, try to work through the material as best as you can and I am always here to help you in any way.

I will start slow this week, giving you an introduction and a little video of the Romantic Movement. This will give you a look at what it means by "romantic poetry".

You will then watch a little video of  your first poet, William Blake. I always start with Blake because he is my favourite Romantic poet and I think you will like his outspoken poems. Watch the intro video and then work your way through two of the poems I have attached below.

Here is what you will need to do this week:

1. Watch introduction to Romantic Era video.

2. Go through the INtro to Romantic Poets powerpoint.

3. Watch introduction to William Blake.

4. Work through the two Blake poems, "The Lamb" and "The Tiger" and email/share your answers to/with me.

If you have any quesitons or concerns, just let me know.

Take care and be safe and I miss your sweet faces :)

You are all doing so well with the audiobook work for The Outsiders. I am so glad we are able to "read" this book "together" even if it is in a very different way.

So this week you will be reading chapters 7 - 9 and then completing a common Lit treading that goes along with the chapters and  little quiz for the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost that Ponyboy reads to Johnny when they are hiding. The assignment for the poem is attached below. Please complete it and email your answers to me. You will notice that the answer KEY is also in the attachment. Use this to check your answers but please choose your own unique answers in your own assignment.

* Do not forget to do the Common Lit reading as well. Read carefully and respond to all of the questions.

Again, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Take care and be safe.
