Period 1--AP 20
We continued to discuss our novel, Medicine River. We will finish with this discussion tomorrow.
Period 2--AP 30
Again, we finished our dicussion on the novel, The Awakening. We started our reading of Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock" and will have to finish that another day. The students will be doing a timed write on The Awakening tomorrow.
Period 3--AP 10
They had this class to continue working in the computer lab on their speeches.
Period 4--History 10
We reviewed their information from the power point about the American Revolution yesterday. After this, we did a simulation to show how much the Americans were getting taxed...the students were "taxed" for wearing bunny hugs, running shoes, glasses, braces, if they had coffee or a pop, etc. While they started out with 10 beads, many ended up with only 2 or 3 by the time the simulation was finished. To make matters worse, they saw where their "taxes" were going by including the king, British parliament, and the tax collector into the mix.
