Tuesday - May 17, 2011

1st Per - Continue working on semester projects - due Friday

2nd Per - I passed out a short story packet with reading and questions to be answered by Wednesday.  The story is called "A Rose for Emily."

3rd Per - We read from page 225 and 222 in the back of the Watson's book about the real Birmingham Alabama church bombing, and an interview where the lady discussed why she sang the old Negro spirituals as she marched in the civil rights protests.  Then I had a few Negro spirituals I played for the kids from YouTube. 

Assignment:  Write a 5 paragraph essay reflecting on the the Civil Rights movement, or what you have learned from it, or about it.  Due Friday.

4th Per - We watched some really revolting Roald Dahl Nursery Rhymes that he has tweaked the endings on.  They were humorous, but a little (OK, a lot) gross.

5th Per - Finished Macbeth.  Began "The Importance of Earnest" play.

6th Per - Finished up the Merchant of Venice video.
