Period 1--History 10
We used this class to finish up our assignment on Renaissance Art and how that shows the life and times of the people living then.
Period 2--ELA A 30
We continued with our reading of the novel April Raintree and are nearing the end of the novel. We hope to finish early next week.
Period 3--AP 30
In order to refresh their memories of how to write formal essays, we went over the "Dreaded Formal Essay" section of their booklet to review requirements. They will apply this to Frankenstein as they write their first big essay of the year.
Period 4--AP 10
We reviewed "David" (poem by Earle Birney) and discussed the similarities between Bob's situation in the poem and George's in Of Mice and Men. We looked at a power point to discuss some of the controversies surrounding euthanasia in the news.
Period 5--Mentor period
We had evacuation procedures today to let the students know how to handle fire drills and necessary evacuations of the school.
Period 6--AP 20
We began our discussion of to Kill a Mockingbird and had some excellent conversation. We will continue to examine the novel to prepare the grade 11s for their first major essay.
