Period 1: Freshmen
We began class with a brief quiz over the homework, then SSR. We then took a look at the narrative quickwrites from last week and the sensory language from the first two pages of Of Mice and Men and worked on a bit of revision. Thanks to all those who shared their creativity with the class. Then we wrote a few more descriptive quickwrites: best friend and person you don't like so much. Homework is to write a minimum of one page describing a difficult situation you've been in with another person.
Period 5: AP Lit.
Thanks to Mr. Fobert for the Catcher movie montage. Then we had a nice discussion of some golden lines. Homework is to write the "Modern-day Holden" assignment and continue with the reading (through Ch. 17 for Tuesday).
Period 7: Shakespeare
We began with a few notes on tragedy. (And a slice of pizza...thanks Yuriy and Marty.) Then we began watching a film version of Macbeth-- some interesting color and religious symbolism. No homework. We'll continue with the play next week.
