Wednesday, August 24th

Pre-AP
We started out the day by taking the quiz on Romeo and Juliet Act V.  After we finished up the quiz, we also talking about summarizing in the narrative form, and what it means to summarize well.  To illustrate the point, we watched a short clip from Disney's Remember the Titans and summarized it together.

AHSGE Reading Review
Today we reviewed the figurative language that we discussed yesterday, ensuring that everyone in the class understood the concepts.  Then we moved on to following directions.

To illustrate the point, we began watching August Rush, a movie about an orphaned boy trying to find his parents.  I instructed students to take notes while watching the movie, telling them that we would have a quiz on it at the next class meeting.
