English 8 students completed the fourth signpost, the “Memory Moment” signpost. We applied it to the most recent scene we’d read in Diary of Anne Frank and then shifted our focus to informational texts for a little bit. We looked at text elements such as pull quotes and captions, and then we began applying the tried and true effective readers’ skills to the text, which was about the rise of anti-Semetism in Germany over the last few years.

English I Honors students looked closely at Juliet’s soliloquy just before she fakes her own death.
