English I Honors began act four of Romeo and Juliet by looking at subtext and connotation in a unique short story called “Conversation Piece” by Ned Guymon. Students were able to discern the characters, plot, back-story, and the hints of what happens after the events of the story, all of which are hidden in the subtext.

English 8 Strategies worked on revising their earthquake cause-effect essay. We’ll be doing one more day of work with this before it becomes homework.

Homework

• English I Honors: 
  • read 4.1 and 4.2 from Romeo and Juliet;
  • complete the assessment for the “Decoration Day” essay at the Moodle site.
