Class Work
English 9 - Students warmed up with a compare and contrast exercise. In Romeo and Juliet, Paris is compared to a book so students took this opportunity to compare themselves to a book. We then reviewed Shakespeares Act 3 scene 1 script and compared it to the direction of Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film and Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film. Students filled out a chart to keep track of the events in each film. Tomorrow we will start the day with an extension of this activity.
English 10 - Students began class with 30 minutes of silent reading in The Catcher in the Rye. Students are reading for their own understanding and connections. They need to write down one passage from each chapter that they feel they can write about. One passage must relate to one of the thematic topics we have covered in class. After reading, students were given the rest of the period to complete a writing assignment. The writing is a narrative where students discuss an accomplishment in their life but they use Holden Caulfield's language to tell the story. If student's did not finish this in class they must turn it in at the beginning of the period tomorrow.
