9th Grade - We continued reading in Antigone, with the whole class working together to read and decipher Scene 4 and Ode 4. With this day's reading, the focus was on making sure that everyone is able to interpret the text on their own, and developing strategies to understand the reading without someone helping.
The biggest concern for students has been vocabulary - i.e. how to read when you don't know all of the words. We practiced figuring out meaning and approximate meaning from context - look at what is around the word you don't know, and work to make it fit into the sentence in a way that makes sense. Even if your definition isn't exactly on, if you can make the sentence at least make sense, the whole section of reading becomes easier.
Students then had to read through Scene 5 and complete the study guide on their own.
HOMEWORK - Complete reading Scene 5 and finish the study guide.
10th Grade - Students finished watching the To Kill a Mockingbird film, and then we discussed the final project for this unit. The outline for the assignment is available on this site.
HOMEWORK - Think of ideas for what you would want to do with this project.
