Period 1--AP 20
We did our last sheets for the Math PLT--thank goodness! Now we can concentrate the full class on our English endeavours!
We continued to read Act III and almost completed it...we were able to read through the climax of the play with Othello fully becoming "Iago's creature" by the end of scene iii.
Period 2--AP 30
We did our last sheets for the Math PLT--thank goodness! Now we can concentrate the full class on our English endeavours!
We finished with the antecedent action for Hamlet. I introduced the importance of Shakespeare and his family going through religious "schizophrenia" between Protestantism and Catholicism during his own lifetime, and how that creates an anachronism in the play in regards to how Hamlet sees the ghost of his father. This morphs into his tragic flaw. We began reading the play but didn't get very far before the bell rang.
Period 3--AP 10
This was a fun class that had the students doing some group work. They were first given the task of individually choosing the 7 most important lines from the poem "David" and then ranking those lines in order of importance. Then, they got together with a pre-assigned group and they shared their lines. One person was designated to copy down the lines. Together, as a group, they created a new poem trying to keep the basic gist of the original, but telling it in a unique way. We will share these new poems tomorrow in class.
Period 4--History 10
In continuing wit the French Revolution, we examined information on politcial decision making. The students were given a handout and were required to fill in some blanks as I discussed the information on each slide. We will finish this tomorrow.
