English Homework and Announcements - 3/24

English III:

WOW!  You all took what I thought was going to be a quick and simple conversation to a much higher level.  Everyone was participating and really sharing some great insights about the play.  For tonight, I want you to finish reading Act II.  Continue noticing how all of these big ideas are coming together to form messages about these different topics and ideas.

English I:

Today we started our last project of the year - research on Elizabethan England.  I've created a link to the project document here.  Using that link will bring up all of the requirements and description of the assignment.  For next week, you will have to complete step one of the assignment - the description of the character you're creating.  After you create the character, we're going to spend more time researching the character and getting information to create the narratives.  If you go here you'll see a collection of links at the bottom of the page that you can use for the assignment too!  Special Note:  The more you devote to creating this character, the stronger your project will be!

For Homework (English I)  - Over the weekend you need to finish reading Act I, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet.  In your notebooks you'll need to take notes on the WHO, WHERE, WHEN, and WHAT of the remaining parts of the scene.  Remember for the WHAT you need write a brief summary of what happens in the part of the scene.  Read thoroughly, you may need to read a few times.  We'll discuss the scene in a lot of detail on Tuesday/Wednesday!
