Period 1 & 2--ELA 20
During the first period of this double, we continued with our study of To Kill a Mockingbird.  The students should be working on chapters 16-20 with character analyses.  For the second period of the double, we did some creative writing.  The students had to consider 20 things that annoyed them.  After we discussed their top 3 annoying things, they had to choose one of the annoying things from their list and do a 15 minute sustained write about that topic.  If they finished early, they could continue on with TKAM.

Period 3--AP 30
We went through a power point on The Great Gatsby.  With this, we looked at symbols and characterization.  

Period 4--ELA B 30
At the start of the class, we reviewed the events of Act I, scene ii.  Then we continued reading Hamlet Act I, scene iii and will continue tomorrow.

Period 5--AP 10
In our study of Dracula, we continued going over a power point.  This class's discussion centred on the setting and format of the novel.  We also examined the Victorian times and how that impacted the content of the novel.

Period 6--AP 20
We studied the poem "Coyoti in a City" as well as "Corn Huskers."  We annotated the first poem together as a class and then the students, in partners, had to create three AP-style multiple choice questions for "Corn Huskers."
