The Seafarer

Part one:
In a brief paragraph, respond to the following prompt. Be sure to include textual evidence to support your ideas.

After carefully reading "The Seafarer," what is the speaker's attitude toward exile, his own life, and the heroic warrior's lifestyle and values? In what ways do the poem's poetic devices reveal the poem's overall meaning or lesson? You may want to address diction, tone, imagery, shifts, and mood.

Part two:

In what ways might your reading of and response to "The Seafarer" connect to ideas in Beowulf? The speaker discusses aspects of the heroic code and the warrior's lifestyle. What implications do the speaker's ideas have on the character Beowulf, and what happens in the entire text, Beowulf?

Part three:

Respond to at least two of your classmates' post. You must engage in a conversation with their post. This means you should NOT merely say something like "I agree/disagree," or "you make a good point," or "I like your idea/that's a good idea". Instead, you should enter into a conversation the same way you would during a class discussion and offer new information in some way. You may connect their to some other textual evidence, some other idea in any of the texts from this unit, you may offer alternative analysis, ask questions and/or complicate some of their ideas, or respectfully disagree with their analysis and explain why.

LASTLY, be sure to read through your peers' comments and DO NOT repeat information/ideas. If what you planned to say has already been said, say something else. This thread should not be the same ideas over and over and over.

Introduction to NDA's AP: It's Lit!

This blogsite is intended for ENG 12: AP English Literature & Composition, Period 5. It is for both the instructor and the students in the class. 

The overall goal of this blog is to create a platform in which ideas can be sparked, exchanged and discussed, while simultaneously allowing students to expand classroom conversation into the real world and speak to various audiences via the world wide web. Further, by keeping all the information conveniently in one page, reviewing and studying for the AP exam once the exam dates is on the horizon should be much easier. 

The site will be updated regularly to reflect upcoming assignments, and communication on the platform.

Students subscribing to the RSS feed for the site can get notices when things are added/updated.
