English Strategies and English Studies students returned to The Diary of Anne Frank and worked on the first scene of act two. We’re using a “Somebody Wanted But So” graphic organizer to monitor comprehension.

English I Honors students began a multi-day lesson in which we learned how to cut Shakespeare’s plays into shorter versions. First, we did some cutting:

1-Fullscreen capture 152016 31940 PM

1-Fullscreen capture 152016 24830 PM

Afterward, we extrapolated some guidelines for cutting the text from the experience.

1-Fullscreen capture 152016 33612 PM

Tomorrow, groups will be looking to cut the text of act three.
