Monday March 12th

Honors: We just finished our Romeo and Juliet film projects! We will do a very small unit with a play called Gamma Rays and then head into a primarily student led unit with To Kill A Mockingbird. The TKAM unit will be very independent and challenge students to lead discussions with creative topics.

Period 6 CP1: We are more than halfway through Romeo and Juliet and will soon be writing our final essay. I have decided to change the topic and format of this essay, it will no longer discuss the effects of Tybalt's death. New prompt to come soon regarding reactions to certain Themes.

Period 7 CP1: We will begin Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet this week. This unit will culminiate in a Theme Reaction Essay and Film Project

Period 5 CP2: We are currently in Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet and are moving steadily along. This unit will culminate in a Theme Reaction Essay and Film Project.
