In Class
We defined setting as the time, place and cultural norms of that place, and that setting can help create the mood; influence the characters and support the novel's theme(s). We learned some sentences to help us when we write an analysis of setting, and practiced analyzing the setting of a novel of our choice.
Homework
Read the first chapter of the biography of Anne Bradstreet, America's first poet. This chapter describes what it was like when she first arrived with the other Puritans to Massachusetts. As you read, highlight clues that let you know what the beliefs and cultural norms are of the people on the boat. Then, write a paragraph about the beliefs of the Puritans based on your reading.
Period 7: In addition to the above, finish your in-class paragraph on the notecard.
Reminder:
Periods 2 and 7, starting on Monday you have double English Mondays and Wednesdays
Period 3, you have double English Tuesdays and Thursdays
