Period 1--ELA B 30
We continued to read Act I, scene ii. We didn't finish the scene as we focussed on Hamlet's first soliloquy. While we paraphrased it, we also examined various resources of language (metaphors, imagery, sibilance, etc.) and how that creates tone. Mr. Sandbeck also came into to do some follow up with Career Guidance while the lesson was going on.
Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30
We finished out information on Shakespeare's Theatre. We then copied down a character map to help the kids keep track of the various people in the play. Finally, we started reading and finished Act I, scene ii. At the end of the class, we summarized the scene we read.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
They finally got their essays back. If they want to do a re-do, then they have to get it handed back to me before the Christmas holidays. And then they should staple it to their original. We looked at the various outcomes and indicators of writing an essay so they can see how much they accomplish in the terms of assessment with just this one assignment. Finally, I handed out their "Writing Sins" which outlined the common problems they had with their writing. Tomorrow, we'll continue with their crtitique/comparison assignment.
Period 4--History 10
Miss Campbell had the kids share their summaries with one another and copy down important information about the French Revolution. They will continue to study tomorrow for their exam on Wednesday.
Period 5--History 30
The students had a handout that focussed on the British North America Act. There are issues that arose from Confederation (bilingualism, federal vs provincial power, etc.). We had a handout that reviewed some of the specifics from the BNA Act (jurisdictions, etc.). Finally, we read and discussed the handout on Growing Pains in the New Nation. We should be ready to move onto Manitoba joining with the Red River Rebellion.
