Total Work Time

Today we had the whole period to work. R & J final drafts are due tomorrow!

Portfolio Time

Today we talked about the final portfolio project, after which students spent the rest of the period working on their R & J essays or their portfolios.

This is the End...

So today we had a quick look at the calendar for the rest of the year. I checked off essay rough drafts and students who had them completed worked in response groups. Other students spent the period trying to catch up.

There will be plenty of work time over the next week, so have something to do (either your R & J essay or your final portfolio) every day!

Final draft R & J essay due 6/11 (typed in MLA format with rough draft, act summaries, and the essay handouts).

Yes, we had class. Why do you ask?

Despite the Academic Fair craziness, we managed to have a solid and productive 15-minute class session. I checked the HW and assigned the second essay handout. Have that done and be ready to start the essay tomorrow.

The Last Essay of the Year

Today we finished the act 5 summary, talked a bit about the end of the play, and introduced the essay. Handouts are available at the handouts page.

HW Essay Handout #1 is due tomorrow.

So Close...

Today we almost finished Romeo and Juliet. Tomorrow for sure!
