English 1 -- Today in class students took their reading check quiz over chapters 24 through 26. After discussing the chapters, students read chapter 27 to themselves, and I read chapter 28 aloud to the class. For the remainder of class, 2nd block finished watching the trial scene of the movie since the altered schedule last week only allowed us time to watch part of it. In 7th and 8th blocks, however, we were able to update our character blocks, and students were able to begin working on the two review packets they were assigned for homework. Next class period, we will FINISH THE NOVEL! Participation Question - How many times was Tom Robinson shot? Leave the answer in a comment on this posting.

English 2 -- Today in class, students worked with groups to compile information on various minority groups featured in several short stories. First, students were assigned to groups, and asked to read a short non-fiction piece about a particular minority group in the United States. After reading independently, students joined their group members to create a "placemat" on which they each wrote their personal notes on the story in their own sections, and then wrote all the information they had in common in a circle section in the middle of their "placemat". To end class, each group presented to the class both a short summary of the story they read and the common information they all learned from the piece. Next class we will begin Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Participation Question: Which American minority group did you read about in class? Leave your answer in a comment on this post.
