Language Arts 3-28-14

TODAY we added another journal entry.
We read an article on marriage customs during the Elizabethan Age.  We located main ideas and bullet pointed in our journal.
We continued our notes on Shakespeare.  We took our vocabulary test on drama vocab.  We cast our thespians for Romeo and Juliet.   Princeton handed in their finished Coat of arms/shields.  Harvard handed in their Breadwinner/Hope Was Here packets and their summaries of the first seven chapters of Nothing But The Truth.

Homework:
Princeton -- The Skin I'm In  read chapters 4, 5, 6, 7; created a summary paragraph and illustration.
Yale: Thirteen Reasons Why read Cassettes 1A and 1B; complete one cassette (draw a line down the middle; label one side 1A and the other 1B;  summarize what happened on the drawing and label the cassette with the name of the person Hannah was speaking about).
Harvard -- Nothing but the Truth read chapters 8, 9, 10, 11 (complete a newspaper article telling the facts of what has occurred. -- Remember you are reporters.  You are writing an article for a newspaper. Don't use "I';"  just give the facts;  make the story flow from event to event.

ALL:  create a motto for your family to be attached to your Coat of Arms/Shield
