Adv11: Continue Desparate Crossing
September 29, 2009Objective 1: Understand how literature relates to various cultures. Understand why the Puritans still matter.
Nation’s question: how will studying the Puritans help us with the AP exam? One answer: The “puritan” mind is one vivid historical example of the “Christian mind,” which permeates European culture in the 16th-19th century and is still one of the world’s major cultures.
Objective 2: Practice Cornell note-taking with the AIM model in mind: Annotate, Interpret, Main Idea. The script for the video Desperate Crossing is based on William Bradford’s text, which you are also reading. Take notes focused on the aspect of Puritan thought you want to write about. You’ll do an in-class essay based on those notes when we finish the video.
