Period 1--AP 20
We completed another sheet from the Math PLT. Once that was finished, we continued with our reading of Othello. The class was cut short for portfolio preparation, but we should finish Act I tomorrow.
Period 2--AP 30
Mr. Farrell started teaching today. He introduced the "Miller's Tale" by examining it in contrast to the romanticism of the Knight's Tale (which would have come immediately before the Miller's Tale). He identified and defined the concept of the fabliau through some visual images of everything that the knight stands for in comparison to everything the Miller finds entertaining. They just started reading the tale itself when the bell rang to end class. Again, this one was cut short for portfolio preparation.
Period 3--AP 10
We reviewed the concept of parallelism that we began discussing last Thursday. I read then the first few paragraphs from chapter 6 and then had them look for similarities in the first few paragraphs of chapter 1. It was interesting to see how Steinbeck was able to tie the novel together through repeated images between these chapters. Tomorrow, FINALLY, we should be able to get our viewing activity in!
Period 4--History 10
We continued with the handout they received last week that goes through England and it's intial struggles between Catholicism and Protestantism. Our focus, for this class, was on Queen Elizabeth I and the problems and sucesses she had during her reign.
