Good Morning Seniors,

I apologize again for my absence yesterday and want to make sure that we do not fall behind anymore.  please follow the following conventions of the mock epic on the link.

Your mock epic must contain the elements of satire that we went over in class.  Remember a "mock" epic is making fun of the epic style.  Use grand dialect in a ridiculous way, exaggerate everything!  think about character and setting that will create irony and parody.

The draft will be due on Tuesday!

thanks,
Mrs. Breen

Sorry about today...

Some serious house issues arose and needed to be handled.  I will be posting specific instructions on writing your own mock epic.  Also,  it will only be a draft as we will discuss them next class and revise them before the final is due.

Thanks for your understanding!

Mrs. Breen

Seniors! Reminder!

Be sure to read "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope

Use the following document to help you understand the conventions of the mock epic, think Beowulf as epic.  A mock epic is a comical version of and Epic poem.
