Learning Targets:
I can determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to produce a complex account
I can provide an objective summary of the text.
I can determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings.
I can analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful.
I can analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure specific parts of a text (e.g., the choice of where to begin or end a story, the choice to provide a comedic or tragic resolution) contribute to its overall structure and meaning, as well as its aesthetic impact.
I can demonstrate knowledge of an eighteenth century foundational works of literature.

Name____________________________ Quick Write (20 minutes)
Please provide a narrative, plot summary for Part I of
Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” Conclude with answering the following
question: in terms of qualities of Romanticism, what crime (s) has the Mariner
committed? Make sure to explain why this is so. You may use your graphic
organizer of the poem, as well as the organizer that accompanied the images you
analyzed last week. Be mindful of language conventions: capitalization,
punctuation, subject / verb agreement and spelling. I am putting this in as a
writing grade (50%), not a classroom participation grade.
