9th Grade - We continued our pre-reading discussion on some of the major motifs and elements that will be brought up in Romeo and Juliet. The first part of class was a discussion over the various ways of defining "love" as a concept; specifically, comparing the ideas of love, true love, lust, infatuation, crush, puppy love, etc. Students realized that the definitions are at times murky, and can shift from one to another as well.
The class also looked at some of the other topics for discussion - what kind of responsibility teenagers should have, and whether love at first sight is possible, were a few of the examples of the questions that we talked about.
10th Grade - Today was Day 2 in the library for the Dissecting an Ad project. At this point, students should all have their two ads chosen, and I provided a model of what I am expecting for the written component. Basically, each ad used needs a two paragraph explanation, typed in M.L.A. format.
The first paragraph should describe what is being advertised and where, and who the target audience is.
The second paragraph should describe the tactics used to present the product/service, and what logical fallacies are involved.
Students had the whole class period for this assignment, and will have through tomorrow to have the project fully completed. I will provide a model of what I expect to be on the presentation tomorrow in class.
