Poetry literary era presentations were conducted and graded. Absent students need to see Mrs. Evans for an alternate assignment and to schedule a presentation time outside of class.

Notes on the four novels, connecting them to Realism, Modernism or Postmodernism were taken/discussed. Each student is responsible for understanding only how the novel THEY chose fits in one or more of these literary eras.

Briefly:

• Red Badge of Courage is a realist novel.
• Cold Mountain and A Lesson Before Dying were written in the Modernist tradition, though they were both written in the 1990's.
• Slaughterhouse Five is a postmodernist novel.

See Mrs. Evans for the more detailed version! (Yes, this will be something you must be able to discuss and demonstrate, later in the unit.)
