11.9.11 Drill: • What does the term “organic” mean? • What does the cycle of nature—birth, growth, death, and rebirth—mean to you? • What is an example of cycle in nature?
SWBAT analyze a poem (“Thanatopsis”) to determine the theme and how this poem is a reflection of the American Romantic literary tradition. HW: TSL due tomorrow
Reading Activity: • With your group, read the biography to learn about William Cullen Bryant. • Ms. McArdle will read the poem aloud. As she reads, think about the elements of Romanticism that we learned about. • When finished, work with your group on the poetry analysis questions. The questions will guide you in determining the poem’s theme. • After analyzing the poem, work as a group to determine the poem’s theme and identify the elements of Romanticism (assessment—did you meet today’s objective?). • Conclude by answering the evaluation questions.
What does “Thanatopsis” mean? • Let’s break it down… • Thanatos—In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the living embodiment of death. Homer wrote about him in The Illiad. • Opsis—means “sight” in Greek. Also, think of the terms optician, optometrist, etc. What do these words mean? • So, “Thanatopsis” literally translates to “death sight.”
