| Romantic Experience: Mr. Ejzak |
Overview |
| Using English Romanticism as a model, we will observe and analyze how Romantic qualities like the sublime, individualism, imagination, idealism, and love of nature have appeared at other times and in America. After analyzing a range of English Romantic poetry, we will read American Romantics like Walt Whitman. We will then launch ourselves into more modern decades of American and English culture, searching for the Romantic Spirit. Evaluation will be based on a range of writing experiences--both creative and analytical--designed so students capture the Romantic spirit. |
