First and fifth periods completed yesterday’s work on adding citations to quoted sources. We also turned our attention back to “Flowers for Algernon,” reading a moving progress report that shows Charlie’s empathetic tendencies. Afterward, we examined it for the development of the idea of empathy.

Second and fourth periods completed the work on fate in Romeo and Juliet, practicing the fine  art of incorporating quotes from a direct source without the use of “say” or of its many synonyms. Afterward, we watched the first nine minutes of Romeo + Juliet, which we will be finishing this week.
