November 8, 2012

NOTE:  The morning periods were all shortened to allow the students a chance to work on their portfolios to get ready for the three-way conferences taking place next week.

Period 1--AP 20
We continued reading Othello and are almost finished Act I.  We should finish it up tomorrow and I will then introduce the writing options for them. 

Period 2--AP 30
We finished all of the characters of The Canterbury Tales Prologue.  Tomorrow, Mr. Farrel (Mr. Dingle's intern) will be introducing the assignment and then taking over the class for a time.

Period 3--AP 10
We did a listening activity where I read the last chapter to the students.  They've already read it several times and now they had the chance to listen for cadence, pausing, tone, volume, etc. in order to create a response in a listener.  Toward the end of class, we started examining parallelism between the beginning of the novel and the end. 

Period 4--History 10
We started with a handout reviewing much of what I went over with them orally in the last couple of days.  Then, they were given a textbook handout that will follow the English monarchs as they work their way to a constitutional monarchy.
