Life as Troubling as King Lear

Can life really be as troubling as how the play, King Lear, presented it?
This is the question raised in one of our major assessments on King Lear. They were given four quotations about the play from the experts and were asked to choose two to support their arguments. These three were chosen as the better responses.
Slightly edited and modified for our readers' convenience.

Infographics

Finally we give you the latest update from the new litera team.

Here are some of their infographics on the middle ages.  It's a really cool way to encapsulate learning.  And students enjoy doing it!

Thanks to the students who submitted these fine works.

Romantic Poetry

Here's a Romanticist poem from the previous Litera Team, a paired activity.  Good enough as an initial attempt at serious poetry writing. They were also made to render the images presented in the poem.  Will post the artwork soon.  For now, hope webquestors will find this pleasing to the inward eye.

The Shadows of Life

NG and DQ

Are life and death really that far apart?

One night, you feel so forgotten and lost, 

Fighting those shadows and seeing no cost.

That is how I feel with this broken heart.

Large waves come crashing down creating art.

Sad and abandoned, you begin to frost.

Your heart stops beating, in a silent pause,

battered and beaten, a thunderstorm starts.

Mother Nature's tears pour down on lonely shores.

The sky darkens and amplifies the moon.

Tortured and cheated, it breaks down my core.

There's no hope in life, death is coming soon.
