Period 1--AP 30
We continued with "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and discussed some of the ways that the poem fit in with the Romantic genre. We started looking at Worsdworth's "The World is Too Much With Us" but we didn't get very far before the bell rang.
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
This was another class to work on their To Kill A Mockingbird essay. Tomorrow will be their last class to work on this.
Period 3--ELA A 30
This was a work period for the kids to develop their April Raintree essays. We worked together to formulate some generic thesis statements for them to use and most seemed to be on track.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
We studied "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe today. To start with, we did some pre-reading discussion about sanity and insanity, what pushes us to the brink, and how we deal with those issues. I read the short story aloud after the discussion after going through some questions that they will have to write about. After I finished reading, we started examining connections that students can make when they are reading (text to text, text to self, and text to the world). We'll finish with that tomorrow.
