Congrats on finishing your first short week of the school year.
Period 1: Freshman English
We had time to work on the Author Study Project, then went down for pictures. Pictures took forever, so we'll have some time in class on Tuesday to finish posters and begin presentations. Be sure you have an SSR book for silent reading by Thursday, and be sure you hand in your syllabus signature sheet this week.
Period 5: AP Lit.
Class was, of course, cut short by our trip to the gym for school pictures, but in the time we actually were allotted to have class, we worked for 40 minutes on an AP Lit. Test Essay prompt (from last year's exam). We only spent about 40 minutes on this, to mirror the actual AP test. Then, students received books and were asked to read pages 1-32 and complete prep notes as homework. We will discuss this reading on Tuesday.
Period 7: Shakespeare
Again, much of our time was eaten up by picture taking, but soon all the school wide busy work will be done and we can get down to the business of some serious Shakespearean study! (Woo-hoo!) We did, however, have enough time in class to begin talking about words and phrases that Shakespeare contributed to the English language (see the Shakespeare, or not Shakespeare handout.) And we (very briefly) mentioned the Renaissance and Queen Elizabeth at the end of class. We'll continue our talk of historic context on Tuesday, and hopefully get in to a play very soon!
