Period 1--ELA B 30
We went through the text of Beowulf, specifically the excerpt of the Battle with Grendel. We identified alliteration and examples of kennings. In addition, we examined the importance of caesura and its impact on this "performace" piece (in the form of dramatic pauses for a live audience). I did my best to mimic the drama of the excerpt and we checked for comprehension as we went along. We finished just as the bell rang.
Period 2--AP 30
We finished the content of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and are well into the analysis of the piece. It should be clear to the students that absurdist theatre is far more in-depth than originally thought!
Period 3--AP 10
We started our study of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. We did a quick background look into the novella and the structure of it and then began to read. We will do some of the reading together and some of it on their own. Students will be required to do an annotation of a chapter of the novella after we complete the reading.
Period 4--History 10
The students had this class to study as I compiled their textbook for their open book exam. Again, with the number of absences and curve-balls Mother Nature has thrown our way recently, this exam will be pushed to Tuesday. I'd like Monday to go over the textbook that the students have created.
