New Announcements???
Yes! Today
on the loudspeaker there was a new announcement pertaining to homecoming.
Students were asked to nominate a boy and a girl from their class for
homecoming king and queen. If you are interested in this, there is more information
on the webpage. As far as any other announcements, they are on the webpage as
well.
SAT 4
To
start out class today, we took out our SAT books and turned to lesson 4. After
reading the words with their descriptions aloud in class, we took out our
planner and jotted down the homework. We will be doing all of the exercises
for homework, and questions about the sections can be asked on Wednesday
like normal. The vocab test will be on Friday.
Othello
The remainder of the class period
was spent with our Othello groups. For most students, this meant determining
the characters, deciding your group’s theme and getting the beginning process
figured out (stage directions, meaning of your act, etc.) . As a reminder- you
have to read all of Act 3 and annotate your part of the Act by Wednesday. (The annotations
are done by the whole group together.) Remember that your assignment is not
only made up of your group’s annotation; it also includes the following:
·
On a sheet of paper, summarize what happens
during your scenes and right before and after. Be sure to give a heading with
names.
·
For each character, give a 1-2 sentence
description of what is motivating him/her in this scene- what is making the
characters act this way? Also, add how these characters are feeling- is your
character depressed, quiet, enraged?
·
Discuss who in your group will be in charge of
props, costumes, music, etc.
·
Come up with the context/dialogue you want to
put it in. (red-neck setting, etc.)
·
Rewrite your lines in that context for each
character following the scene’s dialogue, as long as you don’t change what is
happening.
HOMEWORK: SAT 4, act 3 annotations- turn in on Wednesday
