Period 1: Freshmen
I collected the "Kevin Clarke" homework as students completed SSR. I also (finally) handed out Late Work passes for this semester (not that any of you will need them, right?). Students then had time to complete the "Black Boy" assignment. This is due at the beginning of the period on Tuesday. Don't forget to study any new words you defined in task #1.
Period 5: AP Lit.
We deconstructed, then reconstructed "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin by putting it in chronological order, then looking again at the actual narrative sequencing. Great observations too about how the structure mimicked the content of both the jazz and the heroin addiction and how he built the musical motif subtly from the beginning.
Remember to go pick up your copy of Catcher in the Rye this weekend, if you were going to provide your own!
Period 7: Shakespeare
We began with a two question quiz over the reading homework, then re-read and clarified scenes 4 and 5. We continued looking at 1.6 and 1.7 as well. (Lady Macbeth is psycho!) A few literary terms notes were given on: oxymoron, aside, soliloquy and rhyming couplet. Homework is to read Act 2, scenes 1 and 2.
