Period 1--AP 20
We did the next sheet in for the math PLT. Most of the kids are showing improvement in their mental math skills, so it should be interesting to see where they end up by the end of the month!
As far as English goes, I gave the students back their To Kill A Mockingbird essays today and briefly spoke to them about their performance. Once report cards are out and I have a few minutes, I will give them their "writing sins" to review. In the meantime, we started in on Othello. I'm hoping to read this fairly quickly. It is a good play and the action moves well, so I should be able to finish this at a reasonable pace. We spent some time looking at the life and times of Shakespeare which impacts some of the actions of the characters in the play. We will finish this discussion tomorrow and then begin reading the play.
Period 2--AP 30
We did the next sheet in for the math PLT. Most of the kids are showing improvement in their mental math skills, so it should be interesting to see where they end up by the end of the month!
With ELA, I sectioned the boards off into various parts for the students to write their information down for others to copy. Having it done this way allows us to see the juxtaposition of the various characters. So far, the kids did an excellent job, but it will take us some time to finish with the Prologue.
Period 3--AP 10
We started going over Of Mice and Men even though we read it and did our assignment before we started reading Macbeth. It is always worth it to examine this classic novella more thoroughly. We are looking at character motivation and how Steinbeck presented the various themes of the novella.
Period 4--History 10
Since Friday ended up being a "snow" day without the busses running, I gave the students this class to finish their open-book exam from last Thursday. Anyone who did not get a chance to finish after these two class days, should make time to do so outside of class time.
