Period 1--ELA B 30
During this class, the students were given more time to complete their reading of the graphic novel of Beowulf and answer the questions that accompany it. The students worked well and many finished during class and continued reading their novel Night that is due for study on Monday.
Period 2--AP 30
The students started their study of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. This play is classified as absurdist theatre which finds rather heavy themes interlaced with comic, often seemingly non-sensical, situations and dialogue. It is also an excellent study of point of view as it alters from Hamlet's POV in the traditional, to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's in this adaptation.
Period 3--AP 10
We began reading the play, "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury. The students are given parts and we're reading this play that examines the role of technology and its responsibility (or lack thereof) in societal and familial relationships. We will finish reading this play tomorrow.
Period 4--History 10
This is the students' last class in the computer room to work on their research assignment. This information will be used to write an open-book exam scheduled for Monday.
