First and fourth periods looked at meter in anticipation of tackling Romeo and Juliet. We’ll be finishing up the poetry unit by looking at sonnets before heading off to R&J. (Notes for both classes are available below.)

Second and seventh periods finished up a bit of class drama as we completed the staging of a short section of The Diary of Anne Frank. Next week students will begin working in groups to tackle a small portion of the play in the weeks ahead.

Afterward, we began a “Somebody Wanted But So” post-reading assessment for scene two. Notes are below:
