9th Grade - Today our class essentially finished the Greek Gods Poster Project, with the exception of students having everything fully cited. I want to make sure that everyone is learning to cite sources in the correct format, so we have held off on adding citations onto the posters until next week.
What was due in class today was a completed poster (image, two summaries, one analysis). If students already had a properly formatted works cited page, they could also add that on, but it did not count against the students who did not have it.
We are setting up to start reading Antigone next week, which is the central text of the mythology unit. Before reading this, we are also going in greater depth with the Hero-Quest Archetype, and took notes over this in class today.
The outline of the Hero Quest comes from the author Joseph Campbell, who is an authority on mythology. He has created a 15-step template for the archetypical Hero Quest, and we will be watching how this plays out in popular film over the next wto days.
10th Grade - Students took the test over Part One of To Kill a Mockingbird, which covered both the content of the novel, and also had the last weeks vocabulary section added on as well.
Bonus points were awarded to students who had a fully completed study guide turned in when I requested them BEFORE taking the exam; study guides completed/turned in afterwards do not count for a grade (they do not count against students, either).
The class was given the entire period to work on the exam, and could work on Journal Entries, missing assignments, or read when completed.
No homework tonight.
