Today in first and fourth periods we talked about the new quarter schedule looked at Romeo’s final speech from Romeo and Juliet. We took a closer look at the speech and discussed certain parts in our groups.

We’ll be using this tomorrow to look at how to answer complicated multi-part essay questions that students are likely to encounter in high school and college.

Second and seventh periods began the new unit with the theme of justice and injustice. We began a two-day lesson that will culminate tomorrow with a Socratic Seminar about selected scenarios students thought and wrote about today. They are dilemmas concerning justice and injustice and what makes an action one or the other.

Homework

• English I Honors: 
  • make sure you have finished reading and marking Romeo’s final speech (what we began in class);
