Today, we read up to and including Act One, Scene 2 (we are now on page 43). Students had to write a summary of what they learned today as well.

Thursday, December 4, 2008

Students were given this class to work on their novel study. No additional class time will be given (beyond the usual)

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

You will get this class to work on your novel study. You have already received the information on it and so you need to be either working on it or reading the novel. If you are off-task, you will be separated. This is an independent activity that needs NO discussion with others.

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Today we discussed Hamlet and I gave an overview. We then chose people to play out (read) certain roles. Students started taking notes about information given to them (in a semi-concept map formation). If you were not here, a copy of mine will be in your portfolio. You will add to this or start on another page and let it grow as you study the play. We got to the bottom of page 15 (act one scene one) ending just where the ghost reenters.

Monday, December 1, 2008

Handed out concept map info (how to do one). Reminded them that their novel should have been read by today (major project due Jan. 5, first day back after holidays). Students formed groups of three and worked on the questions from the reading (Shakespearean), then formed conjoined groups of 6 or seven and came up with consensus. These were handed in for a group mark.

Bring the play Hamlet to class tomorrow.
