The Legend of King Arthur

Use our free online Teaching Tools to create custom worksheets, puzzles and quizzes on this topic!
Students will understand the following:
Many writers have told the tale of King Arthur and the people around him, including Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and Mordred. The legends are part of our heritage. For this lesson, you will need: Spoon River Anthology, Access to reference materials that explain why the Kennedy era was referred to as Camelot After basic instruction on the tales surrounding the legendary medieval British monarch named King Arthur, invite your students to try their own hands at writing literature. Tell students that you will lead them through the steps necessary for each of them to create a dramatic monologue supposedly composed at some point by one of the following characters: Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, or Mordred. (You can hold off on using and defining the term dramatic monologue until later in this activity.)

Week 3 Sept. 11 Medieval period objectives Primary learning objective: To show how the medieval (Middle Ages) period affects the West in the twentieth century. Individual learning objectives. In the mid-term exam students will answer some of these questions. 1 Understand the difference between the Ptolemaic (earth-centered) vision of the universe and the Copernican (heliocentric) and how the difference between the two affects humankind's faith in God. What is the state of Christian faith today? 2 Understand the hierarchical vision of life; cosmic, social (feudal), individual (the relationship of the soul and the body). To what extent does this ancient concept affect us today? Do we believe in the separation of soul and body? 3 Understand St. Augustine's influence on literature. Does his influence persist in the twentieth century? 4 Understand courtly love. To what extent has courtly love shaped our expectations of love? Assignment On Chaucer's site, view in the following order cosmos, the social order, art, cathedrals, and music (on the CD). Write a response paper on the connections; in other words, what do the cosmos, the social order, music, art, literature, and the cathedrals have in common with each other? Due before we have finished studying the medieval period. You may want to read Malory and " Sir Gawain" before writing the response so that you can include the Arthurian knights' tales instead of Chaucer's tales.

British Traditions
This sections includes both books about Arthurian traditions and about British Pagan and magical practices and the source literature upon which the first category of books is based. The Arthurian traditions comprise a variety of paths from Paganism to Esoteric Christianity. Some of these works are cross-referenced in the Celtic Studies section. Bromwich, Rachel. Ynys Trioedd Prydein. Cardiff: University of Wales, 1961. One of them was the Battle of Goddeu: It was brought about by the cause of the bitch, together with the roebuck and the plover; And the third was the worst: that was Camlan, which was brought about because of a quarrel between Gwenhwyfar and Gwenhwyfach. That is why those were called futile: because they were brought about by such a barren cause as that. The first part of the book is a lengthy discussion of the Medieval manuscripts on which they were written, the forms of the language used and the probable dating of the manuscripts. The second part has each triad in its original Welsh followed by an English translation with notes. There are also several appendices to this section containing related Welsh literature. The third part is a dictionary of personal names found in the triads and what was known about them at the time of writing. Invaluable to students of Welsh mythology or Arthurian legends. (SR)

Courses prepare the student in grammar, composition, vocabulary, and literary analysis so that he will develop competence in the use of his native language, not only in college, but throughout life. In the Lower School, courses prepare the student in understanding and employing grammar, in developing a keen interest in the use and meaning of words, in writing and speaking, and in reading and understanding types of literature. In the Upper School, English courses continue to emphasize a sound understanding of and facility in English through the study of literature according to type, theme, aspects, history, and great masterworks; through frequent writing of essays and research papers reflecting both personal expression and interpretation of literary studies; through the continued study of word origins, connotative and denotative meanings, analogies, and the constant employment of vocabulary of recognition; and finally through the continued study of grammar, usage, and syntax, not in isolation from literature and composition, but in relationship with those aspects of English study.

Preliminary Remarks: ENGL 230 is an overview of a large range of challenging materialthe foundation upon which modern literature in English is built. Much of it may be new to you, and many of the texts reflect assumptions and ideas that seem strange to a 20th-century audience. For these reasons, several remarks are in order.
1) While nominally an "Introductory" course, ENGL 230 is READING INTENSIVE, and can be frustrating at times. The material covered is complex and challenging, the pace necessarily frenetic. Invariably, one week or another we will be dealing with a topic/author that is hard for you to get a handle on, or that you simply do not enjoy. When this occurs, DO NOT DESPAIR!! We will soon be moving on to something totally different. Also keep in mind that BECAUSE the course is an overview, you are not expected to master ANY of the material as thoroughly as in an upper-division course with a narrower focus. This does NOT mean that you do not need to read carefully. It DOES mean that you should not torture yourself if the details of a given text prove difficult to grasp. We are looking for the broad picture, not the close-up; the idea is to provide you with a sense of the way in which English literatureand English perceptions of what literature
