First and sixth periods worked on ballads some more, looking at Dudley Randall’s “The Ballad of Birmingham” to see another example of the primary characteristics of a ballad.

Second and fourth periods worked on Romeo and Juliet 1.1. I also shared with them an example song for the soundtrack project.

Seventh periods worked on descriptive language in Hatchet.
