Period 1--ELA B 30
The students worked today on identifying themes for the non-fiction book. Various themes were based around the ideas of sacrifice, hope, faith, death, survival, etc. and discussed as a class. After this, we reviewed how to create concept maps and the students were set the task to create a concept map for ONE of the themes that they identified.
Period 2--AP 30
We finished our look at student responses and their marks from the 2012 essay section of the exam. The students are feeling much more confident about their writing after seeing what other students have done and the marks they have recieved for it.
Period 3--AP 10
I showed the students various examples of what annotations look like. They will have to annotate a designated chapter from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They were given a handout that lists the various things they can look for as they annotate. They were given the remainder of the class to work on this and will have tomorrow as well.
Period 4--History 10
We began our indepth study on Political Decision Making through the English civil war and the Glorious Revoltuion. I gave them a handout that summarizes Henry VIII and his creation of a new church, the succession of Edward VI and Mary I, to lead us to Elizabeth. The students were given a textbook chapter that picks up with the ascension of Elizabeth I to the throne of England. We will read and take notes from this textbook reading, thereby making study notes for them when it comes time to have an exam.
