Tuesday, March 9th

Today’s Agenda:
Listen to NPR story about Lady Montagu

In-class writing: Letters give us insight into the personal lives of authors, monarchs, etc., often offering a different perspective than their more formal works. Given that letter writing has become somewhat obsolete, having been replaced by e-mail, texting, etc., where do you think future generations will obtain such insights?

In-class writing: What is the tone of “The Small-Pox”? Cite 3 quotes from the poem to support your answer. Select one from stanzas 1-4, one from stanzas 5-7, and one from stanzas 8-10. How do you feel about the narrator after reading this poem? Explain.

Listen to NPR story about Mary Wollstonecraft
