Pre-AP
Finishing up our unit on Romeo and Juliet, students finished watching Simon Birch today and completed an analytical worksheet comparing the two works, with a special emphasis on the role of fate and love in each prospective work's story. Then, we had a short lesson on Shakespearean etymology.
Homework: Students need to begin reading The Odyssey. Parts 1 and 2 (pages 963-992 in the literature book) should be completed by Wednesday, January 8th. Students should also begin reading Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis. It must be completed by Monday, February 13th. If students are completing the extra credit essay on Romeo and Juliet vs. Simon Birch, it must be turned in on Monday, February 6th.
AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we discussed context clues and how to find the meaning of words based on their context in a sentence. We used the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carrol as an example.
