Good work today in reviewing and considering the major characters and moments of Twelfth Night. Make sure that you put this forward into your studying tonight. Hopefully while we played you collected good notes and are using those notes to prepare for your exam on the play. Remember that you'll have a mix of multiple choice and short answer - a lot of chances to show what you know!

I was very happy with the conversations that we had related to Thoreau today in class. I was especially happy to see the very critical approach that some of you took to Thoreau - especially around his selfishness and egocentrism. These are very valid critiques.
For tonight, I want you to read and annotate Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior's "Letter from a Birmingham City Jail". The piece is available in 50 Essays as well as at this link. You'll need to read and annotate on paper, most likely. Remember that we will be working on this piece for two classes to finish out this unit. For our first class, read through it generally and annotate with these two questions in mind.
- How is the Civil Rights Movement a Transcendental movement?
- In what ways does King respond to counterarguments in his letter?
Read, annotate, think, and consider. We'll have a lot of fun with Dr. King on Thursday.
