English 8 students had their figurative speech presentations today. We didn’t quite finish, but we’ll finish up tomorrow.

English I students went through 3.1 from Romeo and Juliet and began talking about the big project for the unit, the Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack Project! The kids were abuzz with excitement about the project, which will consist of six Schaffer paragraphs as well as transitional paragraphs, an introduction, and a conclusion. It’s a massive undertaking.
