December 4, 2012

Period 1--AP 20
We finished reading the play Othello and started on a power point discussion.  Right now, it focusses on Iago and his machinations. 

Period 2--AP 30
Mr. Farrell continued to take the students through Act II today and they just nicely finished reading the act.  Tommorrow, they will back-track a bit and will annotate Hamlet's second soliloquy.

Period 3--AP 10
We did a quick exercise on point of view that help them review the concepts as well as showed how point of view can change the reading of a passage.  Then, I gave them a quick speech as to my favourite book of all time.  I told them that their assignment will be to give a short speech on their favourite book of all time.  We discussed the qualitites of a good speaker and the organization of a speech.  Tomorrow they will have time to start creating their 1 minute speech.  This is a practice speech to get them ready for a speech that will be more involved than this simple one.

Period 4--History 10
We finished the cloze exercise after reviewing a bit.  Another handout was given to the students to supplement the information and highlight the reasons for the start of the revolution.  At this point, we were able to start watching a documentary on Louis XVI.  Students were to write down about five things that they learned about Louis and his rule.
