English 8 students continued an anticipation activity designed to prepare students for our new unit, which will focus on Sean Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. We used a graphic organizer for a series of small-group brainstorming sessions to prepare for tomorrow’s formal discussion.

English I Honors students turned their attention to the specific mechanics of the Queen Mab speech, looking for repetitions and organizational elements.

Examples from the start of the monologue

Examples from the end of the monologue

We’ll be finishing up Mab tomorrow.
