Pre-Ap
In today's class we continued our study of Romeo and Juliet by looking at other literature and poetry that was affected by the play's strong themes of love and loss. We studied works by Amy Lowell ("The Taxi"), Par Lagerkvist ("The Princess and All the Kingdom"), Robert Graves ("Count the Beats"), and Alfred, Lord Tennyson (In Memoriam). Students researched these writers in the library and began an assignment where they would make a movie poster based on one of the works. That poster is due on Tuesday, September 6th.
AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we finished watching the movie Simon Birch and discussed the correlations between it and Romeo and Juliet. Students filled out a graphic organizer enumerating the differences between the two works. To ensure comprehension of the subject, students took a quiz on comparing and contrasting.
