Period 1 & 2--ELA 20
The students had a bit more time to finish their questions from the radio-play Medicine River.  We took them up together and had a good discussion about the play.  In the second period of the double, I introduced the last piece of "literature" we'll be studying.  We are going to look at the visual representation of Huckleberry Finn.  It contains some of the same themes as To Kill A Mockingbird but also looks at the concept of growing up and how events cause children to go through various stages of maturation as their moral compass forms.  We barely started looking at Huck Finn, so will continue tomorrow.

Period 3--AP 30/ELA A 30
The students are reading and working on their assignments.

Period 4--ELA B 30
We finished the non-fiction book Night.  After this, we read his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize and then started a virtual tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau.  We will carry on with this tomorrow.

Period 5--AP 10
The students had a bit of time to finish finding their most important quotation.  Then, we started reading Act V and the students are treated to the real hilarity of the play.  We will finish up the play tomorrow.

Period 6--AP 20
This class is for the students to work on their big question, multi-media assignment based on The Crucible.
