LEARNING PLAN
EXPLORE
This unit is about: English literature grew and developed with the varied social,
political, and intellectual movements in England as its background and source of
inspiration. This unit concentrates on the literature of England from its early beginnings
through the Medieval and Renaissance eras and on the Puritan Period.
As students go through the lesson of this unit, they will learn the proper use of punctuation
marks, capitalization, context clues, word derivation, patterns of development and
expressions that will enrich their day to day conversation and written communication. They
will also improve in communication skills by speech exercises which focus on correct
stress, intonation, volume, pitch, and rate that will help develop spoken communication
while the oral reading of poems will help enhance their sense of rhythm.
Consider this question: How does the interconnection of cultural and historical
understanding create a more meaningful understanding of the literary pieces?
