Period 1--ELA B 30
We went over Elie Wiesel's time line together as a class and spent considerable time reviewing events in the book. Since there were only a few minutes of class left, I gave them a bit of time to work on their Beowulf Boasts that are due next week. To help them along, I will give them more time tomorrow to work on this to help them meet their deadline. It will be a welcome break from the heaviness of Night for a day.
Period 2--AP 30
We finished our discussion of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. From there, the students were handed out a copy of the 2012 exam and student samples of essays written on those topics. They were asked to read the essays, as well as the rubrics that accompany them, and then apply a mark out of 9 on each one. We will continue with this exercise tomorrow.
Period 3--AP 10
We continued with our reading of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." We read up to the end of chapter 3 together and now the students are on their own to finish reading the novella. They will have tomorrow to continue with the reading.
Period 4--History 10
I introduced the next unit for them (Political Decision Making) with an overview of the English Civil War and the the Glorious Revolution. I just lectured to them with a power point to support the main characters in the history of the story I was telling. We will finish this overview tomorrow and then examine the historical points in more detail tomorrow.
