All students took the Q2 math benchmark test today, which meant we were on a two-hour-delay schedule and each class had only thirty minutes.
English 8 students had a chance to complete test corrections from our last major assessment on Friday.
English I Honors students worked on their first Schaffer paragraph for the Romeo and Juliet project. We reviewed quickly how to integrate quotes well.
| “never knew how it all got started” “problem with Holland before I was born” |
“ancient grudge” | |
|---|---|---|
| Third | For example, the narrator “never knew how” the “problem with Holland” started the feud. | In addition, the prologue explains that an “ancient grudge” between the Montegues and Capulets leads to violence in Verona. |
| Fourth | For example, the narrator in “DD” “never knew how” the “the problem with Holland” started the feud. | Additionally, in RJ, the Capulets’ and Montegues’ “ancient grudge” leads to the violence at the beginning of the play. |
| Sixth | For example, the narrator “never knew how” the “problem with Holland” began the feud between the families. | In addition, the Montegues and the Capulets share an “ancient grudge,” which caused the brawl at the opening of the play. |
We will continue working on these first connections tomorrow.
