English 8 students finished up (in theory) their reading of “Tears of Autumn,” annotating for three things:

1. The main character’s expectations for the arranged marriage (echoing our activating strategy yesterday);
2. Other characters’ expectations for the arranged marriage (also echoing our activating strategy yesterday);
3. The main character’s emotions as she goes through the experience.

English I students completed the first scene of Romeo and Juliet.

We’ll be doing a bit more work on 1.1 Monday before moving on.

Homework

• English 8: 
  • students who have not yet completed the quote integration project from “The Christmas Gift” (on Google Classroom) need to complete and to submit it by Thursday;
  • No Red Ink is due this week (don’t blow a straight-forward 100).
• English I Honors: 
  • re-read 1.1 from Romeo and Juliet using the No Fear Shakespeare version (make sure you read the original first and then check your understanding by reading the modernized version);
  • groups that didn’t turn in their instructions and questions from the Odyssey project need to do so;
  • individuals who did not complete the project self-evaluation need to do so.
