Ballad Assessment for Tomorrow!

TODAY IN CLASS
We used a Twitter or Facebook format to reveal the shifting personal drama of "Barbara Allan."  We'll use a few minutes of tomorrow to make sure everyone's pretty secure on the "back story," for which there was quite a bit of variation today. I enjoyed the variety and spirit of your social networking versions!

FOR TOMORROW
Study the hand-out you received today; you'll be able to use it for the assessment tomorrow, but it will help if you aren't reading it for the first time then!

You will receive a new ballad as well as a different version of one you've seen and be asked to answer questions that show both your understanding of the ballads (can you read closely, carefully, and with insight?) and your knowledge of the characteristics of the ballad as a form.
