Period 1 & 2--ELA B 30/AP 30
I allowed them one last class to finish working on their Chaucer Prologue assignments. We'll continue with "The Pardoner's Tale" tomorrow. I also handed out the novel Nght to them and told them that it must be read by the time they come back from Christmas holidays. They won't be getting class time to specifically read it, but they should be prepared to read during "down time."
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We finished disussing the theme of "The Road Not Taken" and some final thoughts on the poem. They realized how much "surface" reading they do instead of looking deeper at what they are reading. We moved from poetry to a prose passage from an actual AP exam looking at the multiple choice. They saw how difficult the actual questions are with the upper level vocabulary that we have to work toward.
Period 4--History 10
Miss Campbell continued with the French Revolution by discussing the three estates. There were notes for the students to take and questions that led to discussions to help them understand the roles each person played as a member of their estate. She also handed back their American Revolution exam.
Period 5--History 30
We looked at a power point today (the students had to fill in various blanks on their own sheet) that dealt with the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada. It showed the reasons why the Canadians were discontent and the steps they took to change government. The differences and similarities between the Upper Canadians and Lower Canadians. We didn't quite finish it, so we'll do so tomorrow.
