Lesson 4

 

 *Most students came to class with their novels ready to go...

We looked at a speech from Shakespeare's Hamlet - Act 2, Scene 2 - and then compared the lyrics to "What a Piece of Work is Man" from the Broadway musical Hair (briefly talked about the ways in which literature alludes to, and makes use of, previous works of literature/art to comment on its own era...)

Students read their personal novels

Students did a second capitalization worksheet

In groups, students began to plot out the video we watched last class, while reviewing the story terms associated with a standard plot diagram (we will continue this work in our next class).

HMWRK:  

• Students received a list of vocabulary terms - ON A SEPARATE SHEET students should write the word, write a definition of the word, and then write a sentence IN THEIR OWN WORDS which shows their understanding of the word.
• Find a novel for class, if you haven't already
