Period 1--AP 20
We continued with our background information to Elizabethan England. We finished it this class, so we will begin our study of Othello tomorrow.
Period 2--AP 30
We did our mental math for the OHS Math PLT for the first two minutes. Students seem to be showing marked improvement.
We continued with our study of "The Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales. We are paying particular attention to Chaucer's "voice" as the narrator and attempting to discover the speaker's attitude about the characters he introduces. With luck, we should finish this tomorrow and then will move on to some tales.
Period 3--AP 10
We continued with our study of Of Mice and Men. We spent some time on questions raised by the themes and how Steinbeck delivers. Hindsight offers the students the chance to look at how tightly Steinbeck weaves his motifs and themes throughout the novella.
Period 4--History 10
We looked at the overview of the new unit examining the English Civil War/Glorious Revolution and studied the concept of revolutions through a concept attainment lesson on the topic. After this, they had some notes about the definition of a revolution as well as information on the Seven Stages of a Revolution. After this, I started introducing them to some of the main players on the stage that we will be discussing starting way back with Arthur (Tudor), son of Henry VII. We are doing a quick cruise through History to introduce the kids to these "characters."
