First and fourth periods studied another ballad titled the “Ballad of Birmingham,” which is about the Sixteenth Street bombing in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. We compared the “Ballad of Birmingham” to yesterday’s ballad, “Boots of Spanish Leather” using a chart to determine what makes up a ballad. On Monday, we will resume with Great Expectations. Mr. Scott encourages students to use the free online audiobook to assist them with reading the first ten chapters of Great Expectations. A link to the audiobook can be found on the Moodle site here.

Today second and seventh periods did a “scenario debate” on different types of scenarios.
