Period 1--ELA B 30
We started Act V today and viewed the Gravedigger's scene, noting the clever puns and literal language used by the gravedigger. The theme of the leveling power of death is evident throughout this scene and we see more of Hamlet's thoughtful side. This is juxtaposed almost immediately by his discovery of Ophelia's death and his subsequent argument with Laertes over the body of Ophelia. We continued to read scene ii, but did not get quite finished. We'll finish up the play tomorrow.
Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30 split
We read the last few scenes of Act IV (see yesterday's post from period 1 for some of the topics of converstaion). We just started viewing the gravedigger's scene at the end of class. We should also finish the play tomorrow by both viewing and reading Act V.
Note: A reminder to all "regular" students that they need to have Night read by Monday. The AP students need to have The Great Gatsby read by Monday.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
The students continued with their projects today. They should be finishing Part I of their assignment and working on Part II which requires more research! I am enjoying the Facebook pages the students created as character sketches from Animal Farm. We will have our last class to work on the computer tomorrow. STudents will have to present their information on Monday. A reminder to these students that they will be presenting their speeches starting next Wednesday.
Period 4--History 10
The students were allowed to start their assignments for the Glorious Revolution. They could choose between diary entries, storyboards, research assignments, and others as to how they would like to show off their knowledge about the topic. They will have tomorrow and a good chunk of next week to work on this!
Period 5--History 30
We finished viewing a power point on Residential Schools today and also read Prime Minister Steven Harper's apology to Indian Residential School Survivors. We will be starting Canada's role in the world wars tomorrow.
