3-19/3-20 2007 Intro to European Literature

Lesson:
Today we began our European Literature Unit. You wil be joining a group of four to research and read works from one of the following movements or genres:
Gothic
Victorian
Shakespeare and Renaissance
WW1 & WW2
Empires
Existentialism
Czarist Russia
Medieval
Early Detective
Classic Sci Fi

If you were absent, ask around tomorrow to see what groups are still open to join so you can be with a group you will work well with. We signed up for these groups today in class.
If absent, also read "The Last Lesson" by Alphonse Daudet (found on the assignemnts page) and fill out the first short story analysis sheet (also on the assignments page). You will be using these sheets for the remainder of the unit to analyze works that your group is studying so try your best on this first one. Before you start the story, chekc out where the Alsace region is in France. You also need to know where Prussia (they spoke Prussian) used to be to understand the story.
