February 1, 2012

Unfortunately, due to illness, I wasn't at school today, so Mr. Read was covering my classes for the day.  He reported that everyone worked very well.  This was what was on the agenda for today:

Period 1--AP 30
They were given an old AP exam (the 3 essay portion).  In partners, I wanted them to get together and examine each of the three questions and create thesis statements for them.  This requires them to fully analyze the poem, prose passage and consider their longer fictional works in order to develop a thesis statement that fully answers the prompt.

Period 2--Pre-AP 20
In lieu of doing what I had planned for the day, I had the kids begin work on their "Curious Case of Benjamin Button."  At this point, they just need to start reading the story.  After they have done this, I'll have them go through it and begin annotating the work.

Period 3--ELA A 30
The students were assignned the novel April Raintree.  They had this class to read the novel.

Period 4--Pre-AP 10
They used this class to read their novel, Dracula.
