19th Century European Literature:

From Romanticism to Realism

For our finally unit, we are going to do a project based learning on 19^th Century European Literature. So instead of just reading literature in the 19^th Century, we are going to do a multimedia project base on our learning and understanding. Personally, I like learning this way than just reading text.

For this project I am working with Cathy. During the first few lesson, Cathy and I did some research on the vocabularies and the background information. After discussing we decided that we are going to do something about Romanticism and Realism. Although both Romanticism and Realism were movement in literature and art during the 19^th Century, they were very different. Romanticism was more about nature and expressing feeling while Realism was more realistic. I found it very interesting about how could the two distinguished movement existed during the same period and how can they influence each other and this is why we decided to do more research on this.

In the next few lessons, Cathy and I decided to focus on “How did Romanticism lead to the emergence of Realism” and from this focus we will need to come out with our research questions.
