Work Day #2

Students spend the whole period writing today. Most made a good dent in their essays. Final drafts are due at the end of the period on Monday.

The Essay Continues

Today we spent the period working on essay worksheet #2 and some students got started on their actual essay. For homework tonight, students should have at least the introduction written (following the model on their handouts).

Essay Time

Today we discussed the homework and turned it in. After a fairly extensive discussion of theme, involving note taking, students had 20 minutes to begin handout #1 in preparation for the final formal essay of the year. They should finish that handout for HW.

Never was a story of more woe...

Today we began by updating our calendar and I collected the act 4 questions. We then finished up the play, discussed it a bit and I assigned the homework.
HW: Act 5 Qs: 1-5, 7 & 8 (p. 1050)

Act 5 Begins

Today we finished up our readers' theater presentations and students had plenty of time to work on tonight's homework: questions 1-3, 5 & 7 (9=e.c.) on page 1033. These should be finished for HW if necessary.

Readers' Theater: Day 2

Today students performed and discussed all of act 4. Act 5 starts Monday.

Readers' Theater: Day 1

Today we went over the act 3 questions and I collected them along with the work from Friday. I then assigned scenes from act 4 to groups of students who prepared to present them. Presentations will begin tomorrow.

Period 5

Today we wrapped u act three by updating our calendar of events through Tuesday morning. We spent the rest of the period working on questions 1-9 (not 7) on page 1017. Most students finished, but those who didn't should finish for homework.
