English 1 -- Today in class, students turned in their last review packet for chapters 27 through 31 of TKAM. After going over the packet, we played two rounds of TKAM review Jeopardy in preparation for the test over the novel next class. Students were also encouraged to think about events and characters in the novel that would make good newspaper articles, in order to get ideas for the Maycomb newspaper project we will begin next class after we take the test.

STUDY for TKAM test next class period
English 2 -- Today in class, students viewed a film called "The Shakespeare Conspiracy". This film features a group of scholars and historians who propose that William Shakespeare was merely the pen-name for Edward De Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. Since we are now reading Julius Caesar, students are getting their second high school experience with Shakespeare's work -- I believe it is also important that they learn more than one version of the possible existence of the playwright. After the video, we read a bit more of Act One, Scene 2 of the play. Next class, we will be going to the library to chose books for personal reading and moving on with Julius Caesar.
