Today in class we turned in the homework from last Friday (see previous post) and talked about Romanticism, the time period that came directly after the Enlightenment. 

For homework: Please find/print a poem that may be considered "Romantic", whether it be in English or your home language. 

If you missed class, this video summarizes Romanticism very well. Please watch it and write down or email me three things you learned from it.
