The War Poets

Our first topic related to literature is about the so-called "War Poets" ,there are several good sites to consult. Click here and you´ll find some of W. Owen´s work and reviews. Another English War Poet was R.Brooke ,if you go here you´ll find some of his poems that we´ll deal with in class.
Finally, here you´ll find the work of S.Sassoon, another English war poet.

Good poem hunting!!!

Poems we´ll read by Owen: "Dulce et DecorumEst"; "Futility"; "Exposure".
by Sassoon:"Survivors";"Does it Matter?"
by Brooke: "The Dead";"Safety"

Recommendation

Watching TV is sometimes fun, sometimes educational but very seldom both. I have found a very interesting series broadcasted by Sony channel called "American Dreams". The series deals with a typical American family in the 60´s and follows all the important events of the decade as the assassination of President Kennedy (the episode I watched)
As you will see in our syllabus that is very improtant decade in America and in the world, so this is a unique opportunity to have fun and entertainment at the same time we watch something that can help us study or reflect on what we have studied.

Saturdays 1 pm, Sony Channel.
