I think that both the lenses and the eras are important to know but I think it would have been better to separate them into different posts. They are pretty different topics to putting them together doesn't make a lot of sense. I also think you should have included more info on the eras and the lenses. Studying from a list of section titles wouldn't be very helpful come time for the APs.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carina. While it's definitely important that we know the eras and lenses, a list of simply what they are will not prove to be helpful in May when we take the exams. Besides just stating the names of the eras/lenses, you did essentially nothing. Anyone can google this; your writing and input about this is what impacts fellow classmates like Carina and I.
ReplyDeleteReally? Are you going to memorize when the Caroline Age was? Is it as important to know, in literary terms, as, say, the Elizabethan Age? I'm not so sold on this gigantic list of English Eras that doesn't take American Lit into account (where is Realism? where is Regionalism? Naturalism?) and places no priority on the eras that you actually need to know in order to read and write knowledgeably about literature.
