Romanticism
The Romantic Period in British literature was characterized by:
1) Nature-inspired poetry that portrayed nature as capable of altering human perception. Settings were often picturesque and exotic.
2) Literature that questioned authority and valued individualism and emotion over rationalism. Iconoclastic figures like Lord Byron's "Byronic Heroes" were popularized.
3) The ability to find extraordinary meaning in ordinary events and experiences through heightened emotion. Simple and direct language was often used to achieve this.
Washington Irving
Washington Irving was America's first professional writer and the first American writer to achieve international fame. Some of his most famous works include The Sketch Book, which included the short stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Irving helped establish the short story as a popular literary form in America and influenced many later American authors through his humorous and realistic style. However, some critics argue that his sentimental style also hindered the development of modern short story techniques for decades.

The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving
Washington Irving was an American author born in 1783 in New York City. He is most famous for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Irving uses allegory and symbols to tell a moral tale about a miserly man named Tom Walker who makes a deal with the Devil, represented by the character Old Scratch, in exchange for wealth and possessions. Irving criticizes the sin of greed through the story's characters and their interactions with the supernatural figure of the Devil in the forest.

The document provides examples from Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" to illustrate these concepts.

Classroom Setup
Classroom seating arrangements in one-to-one classrooms where each student has their own device should focus on collaboration, flexibility, and comfort. Circular tables or groupings of desks allow students to easily face one another and work together on projects using their devices. Individual desks or tables also provide students space to work independently when needed. The arrangement chosen will depend on the types of lessons and activities occurring in the classroom on a given day.
Monitoring Student Behavior in a 1:1 Program
Teachers in one-to-one classrooms where every student has a device should monitor student technology use by setting time limits to keep students focused on tasks, observing students for signs they may be distracted by screens, and checking browser windows, tabs, browsing histories or taskbars if suspicious of inappropriate site use.
