Period 1--AP 20
Apparently, there are some pretty fragrant lockers, so the entire school did a locker clean out for the first 10 minutes of class. After we got settled again, we were finally able to finish Act III and are well on our way into Act IV. We are starting to see the progression of Othello coming unravelled.
Period 2--AP 30
We continued with our reading of Hamlet and just made it to the first solilouy. We noted character motivations and started to see some of the subtle undertones in the play. I handed out a clean copy of the soliloquy and asked the students to annotate it which we will take up tomorrow.
Period 3--AP 10
The students presented their interesting choral montage poems of "David" which were very impressive (and fun!). We moved into the study of "The Road Not Taken." First, I read the poem to the students and had them summarize what they thought the poem was about. We didn't share anything yet...most will have misinterpreted the poem (as many do). Then, they were put into groups and asked to annotate the first two stanzas. Once that was complete, we shared some of the annotations, paying particular attention to the tense of the poem. Finally, they and their group annotated the last two stanzas and we had just enough time to share some of their findings. Tomorrow, we will look at the misinterpretations of the poem.
Period 4--History 10
We finished the power point about decision making and discussed the text. Then, they were given another handout with blanks to fill in that explained the roles and make-up of each of the Three Estates of France. Through discussion, they understand the rigidity of French society in pre-revolution France. At the bell, they were given the political cartoon showing the 1st and 2nd estates on the back of the 3rd. They had a bit of time to analyze it, but we will go over it together tomorrow.
