English I CP~April 21
Students should bring their vocabulary books to class on Tuesday. The homework, which is due Tuesday, includes completing the sentence completion in the workbook and completing flashcards with the word, definition, and a unique sentence.
This week, we will complete our viewing and discussion of The Odyssey film. We will also read aloud and discuss the end of the epic. Students should pay attention and take notes as we will have a quiz on this on Thursday.
Students will begin the study of the dramatic pattern, life in the Renaissance, and Shakespeare's life. A test will follow in the next two weeks. We will conclude the year with a thorough study of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
We will take notes and complete reading in the literature book on pages 726--730. Students should take notes as we read, and we will highlight the important elements during class.
