English 8 Strategies students had another day of revising their cause/effect earthquake essays. Tomorrow we’ll spend a little time working on it, and Thursday we will spend most of the period working on it. After that, any additional work students wish to complete on the revisions will be homework: no more class time will be spent.

English I Honors students began applying yesterday’s work with subtext to 4.1 and 4.2 from Romeo and Juliet. Each group of students were given a passage and character to examine for subtext:

  • Group 1: 4.1 Juliet
  • Group 2: 4.1 Friar Laurence
  • Group 3: 4.1 Paris
  • Group 4: 4.2 Juliet
  • Group 5: 4.2 Capulet

Students tomorrow will be presenting their passages tomorrow, endeavoring to express the subtext through body language and tone of voice.

Creative writing students continued working on their audio projects and existing writing projects.

Homework

  • English I Honors: 
    • evaluate “Decoration Day” work at the Moodle site;
    • practice for subtext presentations tomorrowl
