English I Honors students began the major analytic writing assignment associated with Romeo and Juliet. We’ll be connecting songs to the play to create a soundtrack for a hypothetical film.

English 8 students worked on their Frederick Douglass close reading, which they are now doing in pairs.

Homework

• English 8: continue IXL as needed.
• English I Honors: 
  • choose which of the connections you want to use for your first writing assignment;
  • find a quote from the play and a quote from the song to support these connections;
  • continue reviewing the hard song list and the easy song list for the Romeo and Juliet project (check back often as I am still adding songs on a semi-regular basis);
  • work on IXL as needed.

Class Notes

Notes for the day's classes are available here.

Please note that this is a composite file including notes from all classes, though occasionally it might only be one or two classes. I don't differentiate in the file; that is up to you to do.
