Can three works of literature work together to establish and develop a common central idea? Put your thoughts into writing with a final assessment focused on a unit-long analysis of Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepard to His Love," Sir Walter Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepard," and William Carlos Williams' reply to both, entitled "Raleigh Was Right." Tenth graders bring their brainstorming and preparation into an informative essay, with examples from the text and references to each poem's figurative language, structure, and tone.
