English I Honors students began the major project for the Romeo and Juliet unit, a soundtrack with arguments for each song’s inclusion that connects the song to the play. We began today by looking at a sample I’d created for students, then starting with the song “Decoration Day,” which has obvious connections to the play.

English 8 Strategies worked on their quarter project, spending a final day in the lab typing up their essays before we head back to the lab next week for some editing and revision.

Creative writings students continued learning how to use Audacity after their daily writing assignments.
