This week in English is the last week before spring Break. We are completing all kinds of exciting tasks in each class. The 10th graders and working on a Shakespeare soliloquy project. They will present a soliloquy of their choice to the class, with the context of the play it comes from. Students will read the soliloquy and are also finding a video clip of it as performed on stage. We will enjoy learning more about these famous passages and watching these on Thursday in class.
The first block of 9th graders are reading The Great Gatsby. We will read through chapter 4 this week and finish when we return from Spring Break. We are enjoying the story and watching how the characters interact. It is interesting to watch their actions and their intentions. The fourth block of 9th graders presented their background information in preparation to read Of Mice and Men. We will have a writing task this week and start reading the day we return from Spring Break.
On another note, I have several parent teacher conferences scheduled this week and I look forward to meeting with you. Have a great week!
