Period 1--AP 30
We are taking Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard as look at absurdist theatre. AP students need a bit of humour in their lives (and of course, for the exam), so this works well. We'll just examine the content for the next couple of days and then, if we have time, we'll "delve" deeper (which is "pun"ny if you've read the play!). I handed out some information on absurdist theatre and my notes from a power point so the kids have it to examine in case we run out of time with the exam approaching so quickly.
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
We started going over AP Multiple Choice practice exams to have the students become familiar with the mulitple choice section of the exam. We'll continue with this for the next couple of days.
Period 3--ELA A 30
We discussed the answers for the questions from "On A Cold Day" and then they had some time to do the hand-in assignment. Most of them finished and then they could just read the novel Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
I went over how to annotate literature for the assignment that they will have with the reading of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the evaluation. We then did a practice run on how to annotate with an excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" which we've already read. We started reading the novella aloud and will continue doing that for awhile, and then the kids will be on their own for the remainder of the reading.
