23 April: Final Draft, Presentation, Introduce Shakespeare

Students turned in:

• Folders (3-prong, NOT binders), these included the revised and edited rough drafts
• Note cards to clear box

Students were given the opportunity to proofread their final drafts one last time. They should have made minor corrections with a pencil or black pen. Final drafts were then turned in.

Monday, April 27 is the last day Mrs. Woodliff will accept final drafts, rough drafts, folders, and note cards!

Students gave presentations. Presentations took longer than expected due to the lack of presentations submitted to the "Turn in Work Here" folder. Those who had their presentations on a flashdrive were able to give their presentation. Those who did not MUST turn in a copy of the presentation in class on Monday. AND they must save their presentation to the 3rd period folder in the "Turn in Work Here" folder. Make-up presentations will be given at a later date (to be announced).

INTRODUCING SHAKESPEARE

1. KWL Chart: Students created 2 KWL charts. 1 for William Shakespeare. The other for Julius Caesar. They filled in the K & L columns. (K - what you already know about the topic. L - what you want to learn about the topic)
2. Scavenger Hunt: Group Project. Students were given a handout with 44 words all related somehow to The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. They should divide up the words in their groups, find images/words/phrases that relate to the words, or they can draw their own. Bring these images/words to class on Monday, April 27. Extra credit for those who bring glue sticks! They will then start working together to create a collage of the images.
3. Julius Caesar Pre-Reading Vocabulary: Students were given a handout with pre-reading, Act I, and Act II vocabulary. They should use dictionary.com to define the pre-reading words.

HOMEWORK: Define 8 pre-reading vocabulary words. Find images for scavenger hunt.
