First and fourth periods began the new year preparing for a Socratic Seminar tomorrow on the question of who is ultimately responsible for Juliet’s faked death. We’ll be finishing this up tomorrow (theoretically) before moving on to act five, finishing up the entire play next week. We also had some frank talk about the “Decoration Day” workshop assignment. I’ve moved the date back one day due to an unforeseen complication.

Second and fourth periods began the final research element of the second quarter unit. Students began researching one of five Holocaust heroes: Jewish teens who joined partisan groups and fought back against the Nazis.
