November 15, 2012

Period 1--AP 20
We analyzed Iago's soliloquy looking specifically at the tone Shakespeare infuses into this speech for the villain.  We just started reading Act II after annotating and analyzing the speech but the bell rang before we could get very far.

Period 2--AP 30
Mr. Farrell continued taking the students through "The Miller's Tale" and while we aren't quite finished, we will take a break from it tomorrow as the students present their boasts from Beowulf.

Period 3--AP 10
We finished watching the clip from the movie Of Mice and Men and annotated it much the same way we would annotate something written...just with a different format.  The students were just starting in on their assignment--to write a formal, business letter to the Director of Education promoting one particular method of infomormation delivery (visual vs. written vs. auditory).  They will get more time to complete this tomorrow. 

Period 4--History 10
As we continued through the textbook handout, we switched gears just a bit.  Rather than the students continuing to write the notes, I provided a cloze handout where they can fill in various blanks from our reading as we discuss the content.  This does speed things up a bit and the students still get the notes from the textbook.
