English I Honors students worked on the friar’s famous soliloquy, which has all the elements of a perfect soliloquy:

• Displays attributes of the character
• Foreshadows the play
• Involves philosophical ruminations
• Displays heavy poetic embellishment

We worked through most of it but there lingers some confusion about the details but we’ll clear all that up tomorrow.

English 8 students looked at some in-depth discussion questions about the second part of the Frederick Douglass text.

Homework

• English 8: work on IXL as needed.
