9th Grade - Freshmen took a break from reading further into "Romeo and Juliet" to do a very small project related to characterization. Since we have spent so much of our time focused on reading through the play, it seemed appropriate to slow down for a day, let some of the ideas and developments settle, and continue with the conclusion on monday.
Character Map - For this assignment, students are asked to create a poster about a specific character from "Romeo and Juliet."
Poster Requirements -
1) Drawn Image of character chosen
2) 3 objects in the image that represent the character's personality (for example, a sword for Tybalt would represent his combative nature)
3) 2 Quotes from the play that are stereotypical for your character (the quotes each need an explanation as to WHY they were chosen).
4) A key that explains what each object is, and why it is representative for the given character.
10th Grade - Scheduling was also different this day for sophomores, due to absences for track, soccer, and a Biology field trip. In light of these events, today was a chance for students that WERE in class to catch up with missing assignments, read, and discuss the pros and cons of the Critical Thinking Unit.
Students who have not turned in their PORTFOLIOS or ESSAY - These are both major assignments; not getting credit for them will lower your grade for the semester by approximately 5%. Any student that has not turned these in needs to see me ASAP.
