First and sixth periods finished up Diary of Anne Frank, acting out the last three pages in class. We’ll do a few more days’ work with the play before moving on.

Second and fourth periods looked at the difficulty of creating a society like the boys in Lord of the Flies are attempting to do. We closed with an examination of how that society is already coming apart at the edges.

Seventh period completed their presentations.
