- Today was a fairly light day. I distributed the new course calendar which covers the next three weeks (that will take us all of the way to the winter break).
- The period started with the students writing the justification paragraph for the Julius Caesar Character Diary. The goal was to prove why their character (Cassius, Brutus, Antony) was a patriot or traitor to Rome. They could use their packet, notes, book and character diary to help them write their justification.
- When they finished the justification paragraph, they turned in the diary with the justification attached to the back.
- They went to pick-up Of Mice and Men from the textbook office.
- The students then worked on a crossword to review Julius Caesar and they reviewed the study guide.
- Once all students had completed the paragraph and picked-up their book, we went through the study guide. I explained the test set-up and answered any questions that they had about the test.
- We spent the rest of the period playing BINGO as a way to review.
- Homework: Study for the Julius Caesar Unit Exam; bring the Julius Caesar packet to class; Read Of Mice and Men chapters 1-2 by Tuesday December 7.
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
