First and fifth period finished the Diary of Anne Frank. We also began wrapping up the Anne first/later impressions work by examining the actual final diary entry (as opposed to the invented entry from the play).

We wrote one quatrain together as a class today in order to work out some of the kinks of the process and acclimate students to the challenges of writing in iambic pentameter.
