Period 1--ELA B 30
We finished examining Hamlet's first soliloquy for literary devices. The kids did a great job of seeing all the different things that contribute to tone in a speech. We then continued to read through the rest of the scene and summarized it at the end. We were just getting into scene iii and will continue tomorrow. We will start to move much quicker once we've fully connected the antecedent action to the plot line as well as be introduced to new characters.
Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30
We continued to read through scene ii and like with period 1's class, we examined Hamlet's first soliloquy. We aren't quite done with this, so we'll finish it up tomorrow and then read on. Mr. Sandbeck came in to do some follow-up Career Guidance questions with the grade 12s.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
I went over my sample comparison/critique of the comedy they viewed with the tragedy we read (Macbeth) to show them how to structure it and how they could get started with it. The students then had some time to work on this assignment. They will get some more time, but need to buckle down to work more efficiently if they hope to accomplish their goals.
Period 4--History 10
Miss Campbell had a Jeopardy game for the kids to review the French Revolution. They had the rest of the class to study. They will write their exam tomorrow.
Period 5--History 30
Miss Lee was back today and took the kids through the reasons why PEI and Newfoundland joined confederation. She then had them split into five groups for a "jigsaw" activity. The kids were given information and became "experts." AFter they learned this information, they were split into new groups with one "expert" in each group. The students all had to teach each other the information they learned. They will have to finish this up tomorrow.
