November 5-8 The Week Ahead in English Lit. I

Overview:

We begin our adventures in Edmund Spenser's monumental Faerie Queene this week, opening with the first Canto of Book I and an overview of the Protestant reformation and its influence on Spenser. Please review the Schedule of Readings and Assignment Deadlines for our readings and for a link to a video we will be working with on Friday.

Assignments Due:

-Your Close and Distant Reading Assignment is due on Wednesday.

Questions to Consider for Reading and Class Discussion:

For Tuesday:

-As you read through the first Canto (the term for the sections of the Faerie Queene) pay attention to the language Spenser uses. How would you describe it?

-Start keeping track of the characters we encounter. Who are the good characters? Evil? How do we know?

For Friday:

-Please watch the video linked on the schedule and make a list of 1) Some things you learned from watching it and 2) Some questions you have about the Protestant Reformation and the Bible.
