Period 1--AP 30
We completed our discussion of Shakespearean sonnets which took the first half of the class. To round the rest of it off, we started a discussion of John Donne and Metaphysical poetry as well as conceits. We were just starting to look at "The Flea" when the bell rang, so we'll continue that tomorrow. The students will likely have a timed write on Friday. A reminder that their thesis practice is due on Friday and that they have to have The Awakening read for after the break.
Period 2--PreAP 20
We finished our discussion from Monday on "The Bait" by John Donee. Then we looked at the Shakespearean sonnets from yesterday. To clarify some understanding of scansion for them, we examined the rythm of their names. We applied that to Shakespeare's sonnets and illustrated how they are in iambic pentametre. From there, we examined sonnet 29, but the bell rang before we could finish. As a reminder, the students need to have To Kill A Mockingbird read for February 13th.
Period 3--ELA A 30
The students had this class to work on their editorial about the Canadian Identity. I went over some examples of editorials and the students had a bit of latitude during the class to interview various people about their opinion of the question. We decided that April Raintree should be read for the second week in March.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
This is their last class to work on their rough draft of their ghost story. We will get into the editing tomorrow. As a reminder, the students need to have Dracula read for after the February break.
