Period 1--ELA B 30
I gave the students a bit more time to finish their reading of the graphic novel for Beowulf and to answer the questions. At that point, we corrected the questions together as a class and cleared up any misunderstandings about what they read.
Period 2--AP 30
We continued with our study of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Judging from the reactions of the students, most of them seem to be finiding it humourous! We should be able to finish up with the content tomorrow.
Period 3--AP 10
We finished reading the play version of "The Veldt" and had a bit of a discussion about responsibility. They were then split into four groups and assigned a group to argue responsibility...either the parents are responsible for their own death or the kids are. The students should bring in arguments about society bearing responsibility as well. We will be doing an informal debate tomorrow.
Period 4--History 10
We are watching a BBC documentary on Why the Industrial Revolution happened here (Britain) that serves as a supplement and review of information we took before the break. As we go, we are stopping periodically to make a fact file about what they've seen.
