1. unit 1 and unit 2 cover two different types of periods and genres. a. choose one assigned text (poem, short story, historical document, etc.) from each unit. b. explain how each example represents the time period it’s from. c. explain how they are different from each other.

Hello there!

I can't write this for you, but I can help you out a little. When you "explain how each example represents the time period it is from", you could find examples within the option you chose that relate to the time period. Perhaps the selection is on an event in history, so you could talk about the significance of that event. Or, it mentions something that would be prevalent in that time (such as a horse-drawn carriage).

Then, you need to explain how they are different from each other. A poem, short story, and historical document are obviously going to have different writing styles. A poem/short story may be based off of a fictional event or it may exaggerate a real event, whereas a document will be factual. Those are some more obvious differences you could point out. You could also say if each selection creates a negative or positive outlook on the time period. I hope this helps!

- Poems.

Explanation:

In unit 1 and unit 2 you have two different types of periods and genres and in exercise 1 you have to choose one assigned text so here you could try choosing a poem like the one called "My best friend". Then, in exercise 2 you should explain how each example represents the time period. The poem "My best friend" represents all ages. Then there is another poem called "To autumn" that can be used in the period of autumn. Both examples are different from each other because the first one represents all ages and the other a season of the year.
