Overview: The Anglo-Saxon & Medieval Periods First 9 Weeks: Exploring the beginnings of English literature, the culture of the Anglo Saxons - including the oral tradition and the heroic ideal - are presented in the context of a developing national identity.

The literature of the Renaissance period illustrates the presence of social hierarchies and the integration of multiple cultures within a developing nation as well as the renewed interest in classical learning of the Greeks and Romans. The invention of the printing press opened the gates of knowledge to people of varied social standing by permitting direct access to information, allowing them to ponder their place in the world and the world around them. This time period was marked by an explosion of an interest in arts, science, and the humanities.

Explore how a concept such as symmetry or divine proportion is expressed both in literature and in art.Discuss Renaissance conceptions of beauty and their literary manifestations.Explore how Renaissance writers took interest in human life and the individual person.Explore the playful, satirical, irreverent aspects of Renaissance literature—in particular, the writing of Rabelais, Boccaccio, and Shakespeare.Consider how literary forms and devices reflect the author’s philosophical, aesthetic, or religious views.Essential Question(s):

What were the influences that shaped Anglo-Saxon culture? How are Anglo Saxon and early Roman Catholic beliefs and social structures reflected in ‐ Beowulf and/or other foundational literary texts? How is “hero” defined now? How did foreign invasions by Germanic tribes and Normans affect early British culture and history? What have been the lasting effects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language? How did Christianity shape medieval life? How does medieval literature suggest a preoccupation with both divine and earthly existence? What makes a hero and how does chivalry help define it? What characteristics define “good”, “evil”, “hero”, and “villain”? What impact did social and economic changes have on society? How did Middle English evolve into Early Modern English? How is The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer both a satire and microcosm of medieval English society?

Overview: Romanticism and The Victorian AgeThird 9 Weeks: The age of Romanticism was a breakthrough for radical imagination and excessive human emotion that was only touched on during the Enlightenment. Both poets and artists alike displayed their adoration for nature, self-expression, and Divine presence in a secure country. Students will be viewing artwork in relation to each piece that is read in the unit, titled in the book, “The Flowering of Romanticism: 1798-1832”; poetry and prose can be viewed so differently if they are coupled with artwork. Students will also have the opportunity to read aloud their favorite poems and interpret the ways that the writers wanted them to be read. Such writers include Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats. These authors and artists provide the calm before the storm of the 18th century Victorians.

Exploring the great political, economic, and social changes taking place in England and Western Europe during this time period. Writers responded to the French Revolution as well as the Industrial Revolution by examining the significance of the individual, theimagination and the importance of nature as influences that shaped human society. The exploitation of children through labor and the harshliving conditions of the working class prompted writers to question the progress made during this time. The Victorian Age focuses on growth, prosperity, and progress in England and Western Europe. The confidence in progress of the Victorians led writers to question whether all progress and change is good and whether traditional values should be accepted uncritically or examined more closely.Essential Question(s): How does the music, art, and literature of a literary period reflect and reveal the beliefs/assumptions about the cultural ideals of the period? What are the basic cultural ideals for the Romantic period? How did Romanticism influence the arts? How do the relationships between the Romantic poets contribute to the era’s writings? How did the Romantic Ideal stand with regard to technology and the Industrial Revolution? How did the Age of Revolution and spread of Romanticism affect literature? How did the rise of Industrialism influence literature? How was writing used as a form for public protest? How does an individual's writing and reading choices reflect implicit beliefs/assumption about the cultural ideals? What characteristics make up a Victorian hero? How did peace and prosperity affect the literature of the age? How did the examination of traditional values manifest in the writings of the Victorian age? How did Victorian reserve impact use of language? How did the spread of reform and imperialism influence literature? How did psychology, Realism, and Naturalism impact literature? How did the influx of women writers affect the development of literature? What was the impact on the English language resulting from the spread of the British Empire?

Overview: Modernism and Contemporary VoicesFourth 9 Weeks: Explores the chaos and conflict that marked the end of the prosperity and stability of the Victorian Age. New theories in science, psychology, and politics led to the questioning of deeply held beliefs. Two world wars and a major economic depression weakened social and political structures that had defined England and Western Europe for centuries. In response to these weakened structures, writers created new, experimental forms of expression, writing and creating art for the sake of beauty.

They will explore both form and meaning of literary works and consider historical context. Through close reading of selected texts, students will see how subtle narrative and stylistic details contribute to the meaning of the whole. They will consider how certain poems of this unit are intimate on the one hand and reflective of a larger civilization on the other. Moral conflicts and subtle psychological portrayals of characters will be another area of focus; students will consider how novels of the nineteenth century develop character and how their conflicts are both universal and culturally bound. Essential Question(s):

How is the modern hero defined contrasted with the epic hero? How have great changes affected literary norms? How is the idea of multi-culturalism incorporated into modern literature? How did the World Wars impact literature, both in England and globally? How does British English differ from American English? How did concepts of Modernism and Postmodernism develop? How did the waning of the British Empire affect the national literature? How has British literature been shaped by the major events of the 20th century –

o the women’s rights movement, o the Civil Rights movemento the demise of the British Empire post-World War II o the start of the Cold War
