Period 1 & 2--ELA B 30/AP 30
The students finished viewing the "Squire's Tale," "The Canon's Servant's Tale," and the "Reeve's Tale." We went over the tales to ensure understanding and I provided a handout with teh summaries. Together, we created some possible themes for the tales. After this, they were given their assignment. The ELA B 30 students have to be Harry Bailey and write a persuasive essay as to which tale should be chosen as the winner. They need to use arguments and counter-arguments to prove their choice.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We left at about 10: 30 to head to Saskatoon for all of the grade 10s to watch Twelfth Night put on by Persephone Theatre. It was FABULOUS!! The five actors were so entertaining; it was non-stop fun for the entire two hours. The students worked on their questions duirng the play as this production offered no intermission. the students seemed to enjoy the production and took part in a question/answer session with the actors after the play. I can't say enough about what a great job Persephone did with this play. Those who were left at OHS, viewed A Midsummer Night's Dream and worked on the same assignment.
Period 4--History 10
No History today as all of the students were dealing with Shakespearean plays!
Period 5--History 30
Mr. Theoret covered for me while I was with the grade 10s. They were to read the handout I gave them yesterday that examined the results of the Act of Union of 1841. There were questions to accompany the reading that I wanted to be finished for tomorrow.
