Tuesday, 3/25 - With My Crossbow I Shot the ALCATRAZ!

With my crossbow I shot the ALCATRAZ!

• P&P

• GUM: Romanticism—rejected the earlier philosophy of the Enlightenment—which stressed that logic and reason were the best response humans had in the face of cruelty, stupidity, superstition, and barbarism. 

• Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner
• Take five more minutes to discuss with your colleague the ways in which it displays Romantic characteristics (see yesterday's post for help).
• Now let's discuss as a class (take notes on what you hear!)

• Romanticism - The Next Generation! 
• Now read the following poems by these remaining second generation romantic poets; jot down the following notes:
1. Read the first few paragraphs of each Second Generation Romantic's biography and jot down three facts in addition to the poet's years of existence.
2. What you believe the poem is about 
3. How it displays romantic traits
4. A memorable image (give the quote and then tell me which of the following types of imagery it is)
1. visual - sight
2. aural - sound
3. tactile - touch
4. olfactory - smell
5. gustatory - taste
6. kinesthetic - movement
