First and sixth periods went over homework before taking a look at the portion of the diary in which Anne describes the Secret Annex. We used a virtual tour available at annefrank.org to see what the Annex looked like in photographs.

Second and fourth periods presented their cut versions of 3.2-3.5. Much of the play was left intact, but a couple of groups cut some critical portions that we went over quickly as a class.

Seventh period worked on Hatchet, using their Effective Readers’ Skills to work a Think Aloud with a partner.

Homework

• Second and fourth periods:
• draft of “Decoration Day” song due Monday;
• act three quiz on Monday or Tuesday (depending on class).
• Seventh period: complete chapter 16 in Hatchet.
