Period 1--AP 30
The grade 12s continued to work on their various assignments.
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
We finished up Act II today and continued reading Act III of Othello. We will finish this Act up tomorrow. Students should continue to think about what short essay topics they want to write about as we continue to read the play.
Period 3--ELA A 30
We took up the questions from "We Have to Sit Opposite" from yesterday. After this, we switched directions to reading an essay by Chief Dan George called "I am a Native of North America." We finished the discussion of the essay and are working on some questions about the two world views, as seen by Chief Dan George. We will finish up with this tomorrow.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
We continued the discussion with "The Lady of Shalott" by viewing a power point that I prepared that examines some of the themes and symbols of the poem. Yesterday we focussed on HOW the poet was getting his point across (anaphora, structure, and imagery), and today we focussed on WHAT the poet said and some of the questions that it raised. To end the class, we viewed a number of famous paintings of the Lady of Shalott. I also handed out the next novel for the students to read, which is Farenheit 451. This novel will need to be finished for the begining of May--if not a bit sooner.
