9th Grade - Freshmen had a brief discussion over the topic of mythology to start the day, specifically looking at what differentiates the concept of myth from legends, folklore, urban legends, fairy tales, etc.
What was explained to students is that myths generally provide some context for the values and behaviors for a specific society, and that myths are not solely historical.
I provided students with a short list of stories, and asked them to classify which category they thought each story would fall into.
Students also were given time to read in class (S.S.R.)
10th Grade - sophomores spent the majority of the class period reading (S.S.R.), as I've been focusing on making sure that students bring their personal books on a daily basis. Today was also designed to give sophomores a short breather before delving into the text of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Homework - summary for mini-projects due Friday, 2/4.
