9th Grade - Again, we are on a split schedule because of finals week, so one class took their test over poetry terms, while the other class continued to work on new information on the poetry unit. Tomorrow's schedule will be the reverse of today (i.e. 3rd period will do tomorrow what 7th period did today).
The class that did not take the final - we added in some new information about the Beat poets, as well as briefly looked at the current "new beat" movement. Students analyzed a poem by Jack Kerouac in class, as well as a excerpt from Allen Ginsberg's "Howl."
Students then were asked to write their own version of a poem in the same style - open form/free verse. This means that for this journal entry, there is no formal constraints in style or subject matter.
10th Grade - All sophomore classes today took the SSR book test, and then watched a documentary about Banksy.
