English I students did a little more work on the Odyssey. We looked at how Homer’s non-linear storyline comes about (hint: it involves punctuation) to provide a model for one of the project requirements (that the game must in some way reflect the non-linear nature of the storyline).

Afterward, students worked on their projects. (Below are some images of last year’s games.)

English 8 students continued working on their Schaffer paragraphs. Today we focused on getting a CD with a well-embedded quote by ourselves.

Sure, we did have three minutes to collaborate in the middle of our working time, but most of it was solo work. We’re making progress!
