Honors English 12 (April 9-10, 2008)

In Class:

We learned the term aphorism, antithesis, and heroic couplet to be found in your text on pages 521-522 (and in the handbook of literary terms in the back of your text)

We translated each of Alexander Pope's Heroic Couplets found in your text on pages 522-523, and discussed each of them accordingly--whether we agreed or disagreed. There was an opportunity to write your own aphorism for a possible two bonus points

You were to read and translate 9to the best of your ability) Pope's An Essay on Man found in your text on page 524. When you were finished with the translation, they were to be turned-in for 15 (did I do it) points.

Also to be completed on page 525, were questions 1-8 regarding A. Pope's An Essay on Man (HW if not finished in the classroom)
