Pre-AP English
After completing a re-write of the infamous balcony scene today, and performing it for the class, we discussed the different levels of reading that proficient literary students are able to employ. The three levels of reading are base reading, analytical reading, and thematic reading. We then did several activities to reinforce this idea, one of which students will complete for homework.
Homework: Students need to read Act III of Romeo and Juliet and be prepared for a test on it on Friday, January 20th. They also need to read and complete Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes and will have a comparative essay on the book that will be due Wednesday, January 25th. Finally, students need to complete the "Levels of Reading" activity that they started in class.
