Period 1--AP 30
I introduced two new assignments that are needed to hit some of the other strands in the provincial ELA curriculum today. They have to access my other blog mrstulpapblog.blogspot.com and read the poem that is there and respond to it. It can be a personal response or an academic response. It's entirely up to them. I also showed them the same assignment that the other grade 12s are doing right now...the graphic poem. They need to make a poem of 20 lines using anaphor and it should be about what being a Canadian means to them. Then,, they put pictures to the lines they create. We went to the computer lab to work on their various assignments.
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
I went over the line about Shakespearean verse (blank verse in iambic pentametre). We also read through the topics that they will have for Othello when they are writing their four "takes." We just barely got started on reading Act II when the bell rang.
Period 3--ELA A 30
This was their last class to work on their graphic poem in the computer lab today. Many are almost finished. We might have another class later on in the week to finish up some of their assignments, but they need to work on their own a bit too. They will begin their presentations for this next Wednesday.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
This was their last class to work on their Inquiry Project in the computer lab. Some of these look amazing and I am looking forward to seeing the kids presenting them next Tuesday.
