Students lead first period in a quiz bowl starter

First period had an extended review/starter. It didn’t work out quite as well as the student-leaders planned as their prepared Power Point materials decided not to cooperate.

Second period completed act 2 scene 2 — the most famous scene in theater: the balcony scene.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!

Fourth period began a two-day lesson on narrative poetry.

Sixth period had the same guest teacher as fourth period had yesterday.

Homework
  • First period: none (except completing the poetry project to turn in Monday).
  • Second period:
    • take the quiz on act 1;
    • use the online forum to do the rewrites of act 2 scene 2.

    Fourth and sixth periods: none.
