...but a good assignment to get started on.
You will be completing a review cards for the Romantic authors we have read. A review card must contain the following information:
Name of Author
Literary School/Movement associated with them (if applicable)
Region associated with that author
Names of works that we read by that author
Approximate date when these works were published
Characteristics of their writing
Important Quotation(s) from what we read
These cards must show some effort in their design and layout. They should be in ink or typed. (Part of the score for these cards will based on their presentation.)
You must create a review card for the following authors:
William Cullen Bryant
Washington Irving
James Fenimoore Cooper
Edgar Allen Poe
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Oliver Wendell Holmes
James Russell Lowell
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henry David Thoreau
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Herman Melville
Emily Dickinson
Walt Whitman
(This assignment will most likely be due on the day of the Romanticism test, so stay tuned for a specific date)
I realize that you may not be able to fill in all information at this time (especially literary school), or complete cards for Dickinson or Whitman. However, you will still benefit from getting them started since you will have other assignments during the week you come back.
