Once again, I couldn't be at school today due to illness. Hopefully this "sick" season is over soon! The sub plan for my day was as follows:
Period 1--AP 30
The students were given this class to work on their thesis practice. They have to provide three thesis statements (one for each of the 3 essay questions/prompts from an old AP exam). If they finished early, they were to read from their assigned novel The Awakening.
Period 2—Pre-AP 20
The students were to work on Shakespearean sonnets today. There was a handout on sonnets as well as one with information about scansion. There were two sonnets that they could work in partnersto figure out. They should do so by using the SIFTS method and then provide a paraphrase of each of them. We'll have more time to finish it tomorrow if they didn't get through it today.
Period 3—ELA A 30
The studetns were to follow along as Mr. Koop red the essay “Canadian Personality”—this is an essay written from the point of view of an American trying to discover what the Canadian identity is. Their assignment for this is to write their own editorial about what they believe to be the Canadian identity. In order to do this, they must interview at least two other people. ONE of their interviews can be a classmate, but ONE MUST be a responsible adult (and by that I mean someone from at least one generation older than them—like a parent or grandparent). We'll continue working on this tomorrow.
Period 4—Pre-AP 10
They are working on their own ghost story. I’d like to see evidence of pre-planning (brainstorming, jot notes, etc.) and then they should be working on building their own story. This is their first of two classes to write this.
