Period 1--AP 20
We had to spend some time getting everyone caught up with the Math sheets that they missed for the PLT. Then, we did the second last one--we will finish tomorrow!
Once back on track with Othello, I showed the students the soliloquy by Othello that I already annotated for them. We went through it together and they copied down their ideas as well as mine. We had a few minutes left so we continued reading Act III, scene iii.
Period 2--AP 30
We had to spend some time getting everyone caught up with the Math sheets that they missed for the PLT. Then, we did the second last one--we will finish tomorrow!
We are starting Hamlet! We did a quick cruise through the life and times of Shakespeare just as a review and we also reviewed the concepts of anachronism and antecedent action. With a power point, I started filling them in on some of the antecedent action that is necessary for them to understand in order for them to understand the reading we will be doing of the play.
Period 3--AP 10
On Friday, the students were asked to do a directed annoation of the poem "David" looking for foreshadowing, symbols, imagery, mood/atmosphere, and theme. We spent the class looking at the poem and finding these together. Near the end of class, I asked the students to choose the seven lines in the poem that they feel were the most important to the poem and then rank those lines by importance.
Period 4--History 10
We had a few current events presentations. This was followed by the introduction of the new unit. They had a handout with the objectives of this unit as well as one on Louis XIV. We supplemented this handout with a power point of the Sun King as well as one showing images of his palace of Versailles. There were two questions the students had to do to starte out discussion for tomorrow.
