Week of 2-25

This week we are going to get through Act 3 of Romeo and Juliet. We are also starting a new vocab list for acts 3 and 4.  Students should be completing their online publications.  We may complete a writing about feuding/gangs related to Romeo and Juliet too.  Students should have taken notes on a short video about pronoun agreement that we'll be discussing in class.

Week of Feb. 18

This week we will be reading more Romeo and Juliet and also writing about it.  Students are writing about metaphors and explaining them.  Those should be in the student drive folder for literature.  Students are also wrapping up an online publication this week that will be published this week to a blog for each class.  Conferences are this week too.  We are looking forward to reading and watching Romeo and Juliet this week and writing an article of the week.  Students were encouraged to do some writing to make up for performances on memorizations too.

Week of 2-12-13

Well, another snow shortened week but we are going to be busy this week!  We are working on some online publications that we may or may not have posted this week!  I'll post them here when they are done, or links to them.  Students will be reciting the Prologue from Romeo and Juliet for a couple of days (not literally).  We are starting a new set of vocabulary and reading Act 2.  Conferences are next Thursday (Feb. 21).

Week of 2-4-13

Last week being a snow week, we are pushing some things back and mentioning them for this week.  The students need to memorize the Prologue for Romeo and Juliet by Feb. 12 and 13.  They will be reciting it in front of class.  Students are reading Romeo and Juliet aloud as well as writing in class about it.  Students have taken a vocabulary quiz and written an article of the week and will be doing so this week too.  Students are also working on an online publication with more to come on that next week hopefully.
