In English 9 we started the period with a quickwrite. Students had five minutes to respond to the following prompt:
Students also viewed the first act of Romeo and Juliet in Baz Lurhmann's 1996 film adaptation. The students are responsible to answer 6 questions which can be found here. The goal of this assignment is to see how the movie director tried to update the movie for a modern audience while still adhering to the famous lines Shakespeare wrote.
The homework tonight is to finish A "Play" On Music and Period 2 should make sure their questions about the film are answered. Period One will finish the Act 1 film in class tomorrow.
In English 10 we started class with an illusion. The point of the illusion was to make students think about context. Context is very important in academic writing. In today's lesson, context refers to the background information students write to introduce a passage he/she is including in his/her own writing. Here is the PowerPoint I used in class to show students my expectations on integrating concrete details:
- What is love? Are there different kinds of love? How do you know when you're in love? Do you believe in love at first sight? Explain
