Second and fourth periods were to have a quiz today over act two of Romeo and Juliet. Due to a technical glitch, fourth period will have to take the quiz tomorrow.
First and fifth periods worked on determining the main idea of a text. We used a scaffolded approach, with me demonstrating first before turning the kids loose with their own on a passage from “Flowers for Algernon.” Notes of the process are below. You can click on them to view larger versions.
