Learning Goal: I will read the summary so that I understand what happens when I watch the film.
1. Read Summary of Act 1, Scene 1 2. Watch Prologue and Act 1, Scene 1 3. Blog Post - what do you think of the play so far? Can you connect with what's going on? Can you connect with Romeo? Why or why not? 4. If Juliet Had an Instagram Account Learning Goal: I will participate in the voice typing activity so that I am able to improve my skills in the idea generation and editing phases of the writing process.
1. Questions for Michael 2. Voice Typing Demo and Activity with Huron -> Inquiry: what does it mean to write? 3. Watch the Prologue and Act 1, Scene 1 Learning Goal: I will think about my opinion and decide on solid ideas so that I can adequately support my thinking.
1. Shakespeare Alter-Ego Quiz 2. Blog Writing Time -> topic from yesterday 2. Debate with Mr. Bieronski's class via Google Hangout Learning Goal: I will use the "previewing a text" reading strategy so that it helps me understand Romeo and Juliet. 1. Reading Strategy "Previewing a Text" (courtesy of University of Toronto Writing Centre) 2. Summary of the Play 3. Blog Writing Time Please write an argumentative blog post about why we should or shouldn't study Shakespeare in English class. Be sure to choose a side and support your thinking with solid reasons. (ie. "Because it's lame and I don't like it" is not a good enough answer.) 4. Read this link to the characters in Romeo and Juliet. 5. Read the prologue. |
