Fire: Forging Camelot

2/15/2018

0 Comments

 
What does Camelot represent and how does the fire imagery forge its meaning? How does it mean more than a love story, a knight story, etc. when we look at the symbols for ourselves?
Mini-essay: MLA- A thesis, a body paragraph (3 quotes), works cited. 
Again you may use significant outside sources to corroborate your ideas (religious texts, etc.).
Work with the same partner (unless you want to work alone).
(If you used fire for Tristan and Isolde, use something else.) 

Keep in mind that we will put all the Heroes and Legends : The Four Elements
pieces together for a complete essay.

Then we will be offering an additional lunch opportunity to talk with current AP students,
especially those who have come from CP classes the previous year. 
That will be Friday 2/9 at 12:35 to 1:15 as it is assembly schedule.


There will also be a packet to help you prepare for next year
and don't forget to look for the summer assignment!
