Period 1--History 10
Mr. Wills, an intern at our school, began his unit on the Industrial Revolution. We went through an overview of the major events of the time period as well as some of the important ideas that the students will be studying. The students were given a "fill in the blanks" from his presentation that they will finish up in tomorrow's class.
Period 2--ELA A 30
The students finished off their study of April Raintree by doing one more response...this time the response was to my questions asked based on their original submission. They had to write a paragraph addressing some of the topics I brought up and whether or not they agree or disagree with my comments. This was to be finished for the end of the class.
Period 3--AP 30
The students reviewed Oedipus Rex by writing a question paragraph based on the play. We came up with questions together as a class and then the kids were to work on their own to create the paragraph.
Period 4 & 5--AP 10
We are starting in on the background information of Macbeth. We went through the "Curse of the Scottish Play" as well as background information on Shakespeare and Elizabethan England. With any luck, we should be able to finish up and start in on the play tomorrow.
Period 6--AP 20
With the prompts finally finished, the grade 11s settled in to start planning their essay on To Kill a Mockingbird. They will get some time in class to work on this but with our class only being every other day, we do have to move on or it will feel like we're standing still!
