Bl. B - FN 12: Students have been getting a lot of work in, and are doing a chapter 6/7/8 quiz at present. We will mark this as a class and then move on to Chapter 9 - Acts, Charters, Court cases, etc. Attendance is somewhat improved, so let's keep that going.
Bl. A- English 10: Students know that they will be writing a well developed paragraph on their novel, about the "setting", next week. Today, we changed things up a bit, and students are going to use their hero's jouney template (from before with ATDPTI) to view V For Vendetta. We will review what we saw today - the first 45 minutes - and discuss The call to adventure, refusal of the call, etc. Because this is a complex film, much focus is needed. Also, many great ideas are introduced which will be discussed further. For example, "Artists use lies to tell the truth" and "I've been wearing a mask so long, I have forgotten who I was beneath it". There is a writing assignment for this on the board. Be sure to copy it down or snap a pic. We will return to our poetry after this.
Bl. C - Humanities 8: After a nice reading period, students got to work on their booklets. Clayton's mom brought in a medieval replica Broadsword and dagger. Students got to hold them and feel the weight. (all supervised of course :) ) They were asked to imagine how strong and trained a Knight at Arms would have to be to wear 100 lbs of armour and wield a sword that weighed over two and a half kilograms. Thank you Mrs. Rogers.
