WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
APRIL 10TH
FOR 9TH GRADE ENGLISH


Monday, April 10th:

First and Fourth Periods:

Journals: Write a short story using your vocabulary words.

Instead of the traditional vocabulary test, we are going to break into groups of four; choose five words and create either a sketch, a song-and-dance (ala a Broadway musical or a hip-hop video) or a rap using the vocabulary words which will show how to pronounce and use the words. These studies will be performed on Friday in lieu of an orthodox test.

You will have about five or ten minutes a few times this week to work on it. It is a major grade so don’t blow it off.

We will continue reading Act ll, and of course, doing our reading logs.

Second Period:

We will finish going over iambic pentameters today. Tomorrow we will have a wee test over Act 1 and iambic pentameters.
