Lesson Plan.

Filed under: Uncategorized — semisweetheart @ 5:49 am

Lesson Plan:
Materials needed for our presentation we need a projector, computers, books, and the use of the library for presenting and the use of “props” in the library.

Groups for Scavenger Hunt:
1. Darren, Anthony, Amanda, Jess S.
2. Brent, Emily, Ally, Arianna.
3. David, Tia, Jess M, Cass O.
4. Sara, Julia, Olivia, Zack.

Outline for Scavenger Hunt:
Students will be divided into groups of four and be given tasks from one place to another in order to find the clue which leads to a single word they need to complete a definition of impressionistic criticism. Example: Group 1 will be given a riddle to search for a word under the tables in the library, once they find their paper with their word on it; they will also find another riddle that will lead them to their next word. This hunt should take no more than 15-20 minutes. At the end when all groups have found all of their words, they must put the words together to make the definition and explain to the rest of the class what they think their definition means.

Organization of Presentation

The presentation will go in order of the slide show presentation of Oscar Wilde and Walter Pater, their lives and their affect on impressionistic criticism based on the work they created about impressionistic criticism.

The pamphlet and the second slideshow focus on the more on the idea of impressionistic criticism where the first slideshow represented the significance Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde brought to the meaning of impressionistic criticism.

The Scavenger Hunt is an activity as explained above, where students will collect a certain amount of words to put together and identify a definition of impressionistic criticism. There will then be a debriefing of the lesson and talk about impressionistic criticism and the affects it has on yourselves and others, and people’s views of their own impressionistic criticism.

Information on Walter Pater.

Since the lovely school board decided to block “blogspot” .. Edublogs, i’m back baby.

1839- Born
1894- Dies
Exalting beauty, art, and the artist, Pater’s writings have appealed to and influenced many authors. Oscar Wilde and the young William Butler Yeats are included among his acknowledged disciples, and critics have detected Pater’s influence in the work of Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Wallace Stevens, Joseph Conrad, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot. Pater is recognized as a master prose stylist and a leading exemplar of impressionist criticism.

Much modern interest has also been generated by Pater’s possible homosexuality. While some scholars maintain that factual evidence of Pater’s personal sexual orientation is at best scant, others have forwarded homoerotic and psychosexual readings of his work. A great deal of attention focuses on Marius the Epicurean, portions of which are generally considered autobiographical, and its attempt to, in Richard Dellamora’s words, “reconsider Christianity so as to include homosexuality within it.” The exact nature of Marius’s interest in Christianity and the circumstances surrounding his death have provoked debate, as has the matter of how much of himself Pater wrote into Marius; Pater characteristically remained silent on the subject of his own personal faith. Pater’s reputation now appears firmly established. J. Hillis Miller, writing in 1976, called Pater one of the greatest English literary critics of the nineteenth century and a “precursor of what is most vital in contemporary criticism.”

That’s right, another year back in high school. The last year infact. To be clear, at the top of my blog it says ENG3UE, I don’t exactly know how to fix that right now. I probably could, to be honest I just don’t have the time right now with working on our first assignment. Any tips anyone? That would be perfect-o. Also so that everyone’s clear the course is now ENG4UE.

sincerly,
Semisweetheart.

Charles Dickens

Filed under: Uncategorized — semisweetheart @ 5:53 am

Today is the last day to wrap up the final adjustments for our presentations before they are reviewed by the class tomorrow. Our group is just summarizing the biography of Charles Dickens. Kyle got his biography off the internet and highlighted the important facts so we can but it into bullet format in powerpoint. When I was reviewing it, I had noticed that in the opening paragraph when Charles Dickens was being introduced it had been infact Charles Dickens himself writing it? Then I read further down and had noticed that somebody else had been writing about him. It made me question just how legit this “biography” was. I then edited it so Charles Dickens wasn’t talking about himself and told Kyle to just write it as if he were the one writing about him. Thought I better do that before someone else caught that during our presentations and make us look like idiots.
