Period 1--AP 20
The were given a few minutes to refresh and cram for thier literary devices quiz and then wrote it.  Then, we reviewed the paraphrase that the students started yesterday for Othello's soliloquy...they needed a few more minutes to finish, so they were given that time.  We discussed the content of the speech.  Then, I tasked them with reading the speech and with specific direction to look at structure (caesura, rhythm, syntax), metaphors, and imagery, they were given time to start annotating.  We will finish this up on Monday.

Period 2--AP 30
The were given a few minutes to refresh and cram for thier literary devices quiz and then wrote it.  This class was given to them as a work period. 

Period 3--AP 10
The were given a few minutes to refresh and cram for thier literary devices quiz and then wrote it.  We reviewed the poem "David" and discussed the themes in the poem.  As read, I continually posed the question, "What would you do?"  Once we finished reading and discussing, we began a focussed annotation of the poem looking for imagery, symbols, foreshadowing, etc.  They will finish this on Monday and we will discuss.

Period 4--History 10
These students had their exam to write during this class.  We will start their unit on the French Revolution next week.
