Bl. A - English 10: Students worked on their writing piece for V for Vendetta and handed it in by the end of class. The choice was 1) Chart Evey's journey as a hero in this movie. Use the Hero's journey cycle (Joseph Campbell) as a guide. 2) Take two quotes from Alan Moore's V for Vendetta page and elaborate on the meaning and context. We will be back to reading tomorrow and will continue with poetry - metaphors. ("A Noiseless, Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman)
Bl. B - FN 12: Students have filled out their Acts and court cases handout, and today we added a bit more information to them. As well, we went over the terms that have been covered so far in the course, as a class Q&A. The students that come on a regular basis are bringing up their marks nicely.
Bl. C - Humanities 8: We finished Kingdom of Heaven today and students are handing in their focus sheets. We will continue on the late medieval booklets Tues. and Wed. and will be starting the Renaissance Thursday. We discussed doing this a student based inquiry project that will be taught to the rest of the class. This will be done in groups (max. 3) and students have a wide variety of choices for presentation. Each presentation should be at least 8-10 slides, and the groups will submit 3 good questions on their presentation, which I will coalate and give every student as a focus sheet (which will be marked as well) to be done while watching the presentations. Students will be evaluated on both the quality of their presentation as well as how they present. For example, body language, clarity of voice, pacing, and knowledge around their subject. Should be fun!
**Block A and C students: keep reading your novels, and be prepared to write the in-class paragraph on "setting" sometime this week.
