Fourth period worked on meter, learning what iambs, trochees, anapests, dactyls, and spondees are. It was tough going, but I believe everyone will get it tomorrow.

First and seventh period completed the second scene of the Diary of Anne Frank‘s second act. We saw the kiss and discussed briefly how social attitudes have changes regarding intimacy between males and females, using the text of the play as a point of comparison.

Second period completed II.3 of the Diary of Anne Frank. We looked at characters’ actions and their motivations.

Homework

• First and seventh period: read act 2, scene 3 of the Diary of Anne Frank; we’ll be having a quiz on it tomorrow.
• Second period: read II.4 of the Diary of Anne Frank; a quiz is likely.
• Fourth period: revise the poetry turned in yesterday.
