Period 1 & 2--ELA B 30/AP 30
The students were given time to work on their Beowulf Boasts today. This assignment requires them to boast about themselves and they will have to perform it for the class. They must include examples of kennings, caesura, and alliteration. The boast will be in poetic form and should be about 20 lines long.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We continued to discuss some of the interesting aspects of Of Mice and Men. These kids are very inquisitive and I enjoy their enthusiasm. We will do a viewing activity tomorrow on the ending of the movie as we watch the clip.
Period 4--History 10
The students watched The Patriot today in class and will hopefully finish it tomorrow. This educational video clearly explores the struggles of the colonists in the Thirteen Colonies as they become an independent country. It also shows an accurate picture of the brutality of this type of warfare.
Period 5--History 30
We spent the class reviewing a bit about the 7 years war and the Treaty of Paris. Then we finished with the cloze exercise on The Royal Proclamation. They answered some questions and then we started going over the answers together.
