The document summarizes Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus" which was placed on a plaque inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. Lazarus contrasts the Statue of Liberty with the Colossus of Rhodes, describing Liberty as a "mighty woman" and "Mother of Exiles" who welcomes the tired, poor, and homeless masses yearning to breathe free. The last lines of the poem inscribed on the Statue proclaim that America lifts its lamp beside the golden door for all who seek refuge.

POEMS by Emily Dickinson· 1830-1886; one of the two most impor.docxstilliegeorgiana
POEMS by Emily Dickinson
· 1830-1886; one of the two most important figures (the other being Walt Whitman) in establishing the specific identity of AMERICAN POETRY (especially MODERN American poetry)
· from a prominent Amherst, Massachusetts, family (father a lawyer)
· After school (Amherst Academy and a year at the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary), she lived as a RECLUSE, almost never leaving the Dickinson family home.
· She remained close with her family, particularly her brother, and maintained several “friendships” via correspondences, most notably with the Boston writer and critic Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who eventually—POSTHUMOUSLY!—published her poems with the help of another of Emily’s friends, Mabel Todd Loomis.
· Only 7 of her poems were published—anonymously!—during her lifetime. THERE ARE 1,775! Not all of them reached print until 1955!
· eccentric punctuation: especially DASHES indicating emphasis and interruption
· influenced by the English Romantics, especially Keats, and the early Victorian poets, especially Elizabeth Barrett Browning
· a mixture of death, uncompromising truth, and playful humor
· ROMANTIC CHARACTERISTICS:
· sentimental melancholy
· importance/exceptionality of the poet
· the failure of knowledge/reason
· fascination with the grotesque
· mystical imagery
· unorthodox religious interpretation/beliefs
· wish to transcend worldly cares/priorities
· ROMANTIC INVERSIONS: American “Dark” Romanticism (according to literary critic Leslie Fiedler)
· disturbingly falling short of salvation (uncertainty or damnation, etc.)
· mocking the false comforts that sweet, picturesque imagery might provide
QUESTION #11:
Citing examples from her poems, discuss Dickinson’s Dark Romanticism. (3 paragraphs)
Walt Whitman
· 1819-1892; born in West Hills, Long Island, New York
· revolutionized American poetry: the long line, “catalogs,” frank subject matter, “free verse”
· responded to the call in Emerson’s “The Poet” (1842) for an all-encompassing American bard
· persona characteristics: amoral (even seeming to fatalistically excuse the atrocities associated with Manifest Destiny and colonially expansionist drive); representatively omnipresent (Transcendentally pantheistic); “American” universality and commonality represented sexually (as metaphor)
QUESTION #12:
How does both the form of Whitman’s poem and the imagery it uses reflect Emerson’s Transcendentalist call for an “American” poet?
Rebecca Harding Davis
· 1831-1910; born in Washington, Pennsylvania
· had a long career as both a fiction writer and a journalist
· “Life in the Iron-Mills” (1861) made her a literary celebrity; an early American literary example of combining REALISM, NATURALISM, and MUCK-RAKING
REALISM:
· mainly a reaction against the aesthetics and ideals of Romanticism, roughly surfacing as a consistent literary movement in the mid-19th century
· focus: a fidelity to actuality in its representation in literature (verisimilitude)
· focus ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

7. Russian Pogroms in the 1800’s
• Anti-Jewish riots were breaking out in Russia following Czar
Alexander II’s assassination. These riots would come to be
known as pogroms.
• These pogroms made the Jews of Russia feel unsafe and
insecure.
• The pogroms caused many Jews to embrace Marxist
socialism and Zionism.
• Jews felt that “until the Jews had a homeland of their own
they would function as a pariah people subject to whatever
hostility and ill will others chose to inflict on them (Diner
90).”
8. A French Statue
• The Statue of Liberty was a
project undergone by the
French in order to show their
respect for American
Democracy.
• A prominent French man, Rene
Lefebvre di Laboulaye, held a
dinner party and offered the
idea of donating a monument,
“a token of their common
bond” with Americans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89douard_Ren
%C3%A9_de_Laboulaye
9. Creating the Statue
• Attending this party was a
sculptor, Fredrick Auguste
Bartholdi, who was inspired
and put this idea to work.
• The statue was based upon
the Colossus of Rhodes that
stood at the harbor on the
Island of Rhodes. Both were
built based on a celebration
of freedom and the Statue
of Liberty is also known as
the Modern Colossus. (The

Jewish Magazine)
11. But where will she stand?
• Fund raisers and auctions were set up in order to raise
funds to construct a pedestal for the statue.
• Writers such as Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and John
Burroughs submitted works to be auctioned off.
• In 1883 Emma Lazarus was approached and asked to
donate a poem to be auctioned for the "In Aid of the
Bartholdi Pedestal Fund."
• Eventually the funds were raised and sixteen years
after Emma Lazarus’ death.
• Georgina Schuyler, a patron and member of the New
York high society, was inspired by the poem and the
last five lines of her poem titled “The New Colossus”
was placed on a plaque inside of the pedestal in
Emma’s honor.
12. Inspiration for the New Colossus
• Emma Lazarus was moved by Greek myths along with
Hebrew scholars and it was reflected in her work; She
also wrote of America’s cultural developments.
• “Struggling beneath the poem's surface, these tensions
—between ancient and modern, Jew and American,
voice and silence, freedom and oppression—give
Emma Lazarus's work meaning and power (Jewish
Women’s Archive).”
• She often visited the immigrants’ camps because she
felt a tie to her “brothers and sisters” even though she
was a wealthy member of society.
13. “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
14. Meaning within The New Colossus
“Lazarus contrasts the soon-to-be
installed symbol of the United
States with what many consider the
perfect symbol of the Greek and
Roman era, the Colossus of Rhodes.
Her comparison proved
appropriate, for Bartholdi himself
created the Statue of Liberty with
the well-known Colossus in mind.” http://www.rhodesguide.com/rhode
s/colossus_rhodes.php
15. “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.”
Emma makes a direct comparison between the Greek
Colossus of Rhodes and the Statue of Liberty, or Modern
Colossus. They both represented freedom for the people of
their land, however, the Greek statue was created as a
celebration of a war victory and the Statue of Liberty was
created as a celebration of a new found freedom for
Americans. She describes her as the “Mother of Exiles”
because she represents the acceptance of those no longer
welcome in their homeland.
16. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes
command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
The light held in the
Statue’s hand is the
“light at the end of the
tunnel,” or a guide for
those looking for refuge
and a new home.

17. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips.
This shows that the Statue of Liberty contains power
without having to utter a word. Just her presence
alone sends the clear message that America is not
looking to bring the vulgar behaviors and actions
completed by ancient lands in the past; America is
a new land offering rights and chance for people
to create their own lives, free from their previous
judgments.
19. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
This helps emphasize the sense of freedom and pride that
one feels upon arriving in America. The immigrants are
all welcomed who look for a place to belong. It gives a
sense of relief to those who were “Tempest-tost,” or
hit repeatedly by hardships. The lamp in the Statue’s
hand it the golden door, the landmark to which they
need to arrive to know that they have completed their
journey for freedom and salvation.
