Welcome back! Hopefully you all had a nice Thanksgiving break. Students in all classes have an in - class book report on Wednesday, December 14, so all students should have chosen their book and be working towards finishing it with their home reading.
Tenth grade students are wrapping up our Shakespeare study this week with a discussion of heroic actions in Hamlet and famous lines from Hamlet. Students will also participate in a brief soliloquy project this week before moving on to our next book.
Ninth grade students finished reading Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville and identified the elements of the narrative arc or plot diagram. They will get a new American Romantic story to read this week with a group and will identify the same elements before presenting to the class.
In both grade levels, students have been engaged in challenging reading. This reading has offered rich discussions and exposes students to a different style of literature that will broaden their base as a reader.
