Viewing The Scarlet Letter

Now that we have established Hawthorne's unique and detailed writing style, we will read the rest of the text via the WGBH Boston mini-series interpretation. We will be completing the ABC Charts that we folded today in class.  Using the alphabet, we can identify lots of symbols and setting elements that set the tone and theme of The Scarlet Letter. These charts will help us identify the Dark Romantic style of Hawthorne's writing. Follow this link to watch a video about American Dark Romanticism.

Additionally, we will be doing pages from the Glencoe Activities Packet. Keep up with these papers in your folders and we'll work on them as we go!
