Monday, 21 Dec: Modern Day Romanticism


            ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How does Romanticism fit in with other modern viewpoints?
            OBJECTIVES:
            -I can determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective, analyzing how style and content contribute to the power, persuasiveness or beauty of the text.

-I can integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem.

“The Raven”                                 “The Albatross”
What text best describes this bird? (Use quotations.)


What do you think this bird symbolizes?


How does this relate to how Romantic thinkers felt about animals?




1) What is (or was) your reaction to this news story?
2) How would a Romantic thinker feel about this news story?

Read these two articles:

3) What do you think about the perspectives which OPPOSE the Romantic philosophical idea?
Design a tweet (140 characters or less) that would represent a Romantic social media response to The Albatross’ death in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” or the presence of The Raven in “The Raven”:
