First period, having a choice for the day’s writing workshop mini-lesson, decided to continue working on sentence variety

Second and sixth periods had a quiz on last night’s reading. We then went over the project: I introduced the Double-sided Journal format we’ll be using for notes (which students will use in conjunction with the reading skills list I provided a couple of weeks ago).

Fourth period finished up Romeo and Juliet 3.1. The screw tightens just a bit.

Homework

• First period: final draft due next Thursday.
• Second and sixth periods: none (significant homework coming tomorrow).
• Fourth period:
  • read 3.1;
  • create a chain of events diagram/list to document the events that led up to the tragedy now facing Romeo and Juliet.
