Period 1 & 2 ELA B 30/AP 30
We worked on our Prologue assignments for today. Students had a choice out of 4 options and used this time to work on it. We will decide on the due date during tomorrow's class.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We continued from our analysis on Thursday with Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" where we looked at surface vs. deeper analysis by breaking down what we looked at in the poem. Frost's poems are deceptively simple. We're almost done with it and have realized that point of view, tense, and imagery are key components to this poem.
Period 4--History 20
Miss Campbell took the kids through the start of a new unit (The French Revolution). Theydiscussed the times and living conditions of the French during this time period as well as the hierarchy of social classes. She had a few handouts and a power point the students followed that introduced Louis XIV "The Sun King" as one of the last great absolute monarchs of the world. The students then, as promised, had the last half of the class to work on their American Revolution timelines. They are due on Wednesday.
Period 5--History 30
We finished off discussing the War of 1812 and then spoke again about historical perspective with a look at the song, "Battle of New Orleans" and the American view of the war vs. how the British would have looked at the same events. We then spent some time talking about the outcomes of the War of 1812 on BNA including the Great Migration. The students decided it might be a good time to break up the information with an exam so they don't have to remember so many different events all on one exam. This exam will cover the Seven Years War to the end of the War of 1812 and the Great Migration. It will be next Tuesday, November 22nd.
