Sorry on the late posting time . . .
9th Grade -
We focused the majority of classtime on writing a sonnet, as it is a very specific form and can take significant time to get all the pieces to fit correctly. Students took five minutes to free-write on a pair of opposites to generate content possibilities, and then we reviewed the different types of rhyme and rhyme scheme.
The first step towards writing a sonnet is getting 14 lines down in the correct rhyme scheme, and then developing iambic pentameter afterwards. The goal today was to get 14 lines written in-class, and then we will work with meter the next class.
HOMEWORK - Finish 14 lines in correct rhyme scheme to develop meter tomorrow.
10th Grade -
We watched the film version of "Who Am I This Time," focused on looking at the changes that are made to make a story more palatable to a movie audience. Also, this film proves that Christopher Walken does not age.
