Period 1--AP 30
We finished reading "The Defence of Guenevere" together in class and discussed some of the technical aspects of it. We leafed through the rest of the Victorial Litertature Booklet I created for them and talked, in general, about some of the other Victorian poems and poets. They willl be doing a timed write on Victorian Literature tomorrow.
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
They did a timed write today on Othello. I helped them develop a basic thesis and gave them some guidance to work as quickly and efficiently as possible in the time frame.
Period 3--ELA A 30
We started taking a new short story today called "On a Cold Day" by Himani Bannerji. We started out discussing the concept of assimilation and what it means to the culture that is being assimilated. As we read through the story, we spoke periodically to check for understanding and to discuss the differences in culture that the women in the story are facing. We didn't quite finish, so we'll do so tomorrow.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
We finished doing the last two multiple choice selections of the practice AP exam. We did this outside today as it was so hot in the classroom and beautiful outside. The bugs eventually forced us back in, but it was a nice break from our desks on a hot Monday afternoon. I handed out a copy of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and introduced the concept of the novella. We will start reading it tomorrow and will annotate certain sections.
