First and seventh periods are still working on literature circles. We’re about to finish the first group of chapters and activities. We’ll be focusing on determining a text’s main idea as we work.

Second period continued with Much Ado About Nothing. We began the second act today, though we didn’t quite finish it. We also went through a quick, unplanned review of perspectiving, using Billy Collins’ “Forgetfulness.”

Fourth period began act two from Romeo and Juliet.

Homework

• First and seventh periods: depends on the groups’ decisions.
• Second period: none.
• Fourth period: practice the prologue for act two.
