Period 1 & 2--ELA B 30 & AP 30
We finished reading "The Miller's Tale" which took the vast majority of the class.  It was a fun tale, but quite ribbald!

Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We continued looking at exemplars of AP essays--the kids were able to see examples of essays written at the 9, 8, 7, 5, 4 and 3 levels.  At the end of the class, I asked them to look at their summative copy of their Timed Write on the Macbeth passage.  At this point, they were to look at the 9 point AP rubric and evaluate what they think their essay is worth and write an explanation as to why they believe it deserves that mark. 

Period 4--History 10
The kids were doing some reading from their textbook and had to answer some questions.  Miss Campbell had them do some other activities, but I was out of the room for the bulk of the class and forgot to get an update from her, so if students missed the class, they need to check in with her Monday morning to find out what they missed.  Sorry!

Period 5--History 30
As a change of pace, I gave the students an assignment to work on.  They have various options of ways that they can express their knowledge about information they have taken in this unit.  They had this class to work on it and then they will have Monday's class as well.  A reminder that they have an exam on Tuesday form the Seven Years War to the end of the War of 1812 and loyalist migrations.
