Period 1--ELA B 30
We finished examining the quotations from their Act II activities sheet. They were then given the assignment to choose any passage from the Act and re-create it in a representational format. This allows them the opportunity to show their understanding through visuals rather than just a written format.
Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30 split
We spent the entire class going over Hamlet's soliloquy in Act II. We examined the caesura and other literary devices to look more closely at tone. The "regulars" were then directed to their Act II activities to work on the quotations and the APs were directed to their AP options to ready themselves for their timed write on Monday.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We continued our discussion about discrimination which ellicited some excellent observations about the world around them. We then did a K-W-L about Martin Luther King, Jr. After this, we read some of the back ground information on King and went back to the KWL chart. There were only a few minutes left in class (due to all the discussion) so I informed them of what Monday would look like for them.
Period 4--History 10
Miss Campbell came back for the last three current event presentations. We had a bit of discussion about current news items and then redirected back to Elizabethan England. We read about the introduction of joint-stock companies to the English ecomony and how that worked with the economic theory of mercanticlism. This unit, even though it happened before all the others, is tying everything together for the kids. To finish class, we learned about the Puritans, their beliefs, and Elizabeth's response to them. The students could clearly see that tensions were rising.
Period 5--History 30
Miss Lee taught the class about the fall of the conservative government. They learned about the death of Macdonald and the rise of Laurier. The Manitoba Schools Act and the "Sunny Way" were some of the main topics of study in this class.
