Romantic Period -- In-class poetry projects

We are studying the Romantic Period in 12th Grade British Literature. In order to take a closer look at the poetry from the time period, each student analyzed one poem and represented their analysis visually. The pictures show a few samples of what they came up with -- I have a very creative bunch!

12th Grade Extra Credit Option

We will be reading part of Frankenstein in class on Monday. You may read the complete Frankenstein text for extra credit (worth one test grade) for either 3rd or 4th quarter.

In order for this grade to count, after you finish the reading, you must pass a test with an 80% or higher.

Deadlines:
On or before Wednesday, 4/2, for 3rd quarter
On or before Wednesday, 4/16, for 4th quarter

Upcoming Events and Various Information
