Assigment for Periods 2, 8/9, and 12 - Due THURSDAY 10/02
Hey kids -
In addition to completing the fill in the blank worksheet, here is an assignment for Periods 2, 8/9, and 12, due Thursday. Period 4 has a separate assignment, which I handed out in class on Monday.
Below is a link to the poem Morte d’Arthur by Lord Tennyson. Read the poem and then in a well developed, organized (use paragraphs!) response, make a connection between the poem and 3 scenes from the film. Use lines from the poem as textual evidence to support your response.
Please type and double space your response. It should be one page in length.
