Friday, April 17th, 2015

Students received test papers back & began corrections on the Drama Vocabulary and the Shakespeare test.  Finish drama vocab corrections (5x each) for Monday if you did not finish.

We received our new novel, Parallel Journeys, a non-fiction story of a Hitler Youth and a Jewish girl during the Nazi Holocaust.  We began a "Think and Note" together and read the introduction.
Read chapters 1 and 2 and complete the Think and Note (you should fill both sides of your looseleaf with notes, vocab, questions, thoughts)

We watched pieces of the movie, Romeo and Juliet.

Yale peer edited their Shakespearean Research project.
All sections handed it in.

Homework:
Read Chapters 1 & 2 of our novel, complete Think and Note.
Finish vocabulary corrections from Drama test.
check the portal to examine your grade -- every point counts!!
