We started the block with a lockdown drill.
Students handed in their vocabulary work from last class.
We looked at the lyrics to "Video Killed the Radio Star," and then listened to a band's altered lyrics - a rendition exploring the present day AI takeover of digital art, and the impact on the artistic world. We talked about irony, and poetic devices.
Students moved into small groups and though about the following:
- What are some rumours that started in elementary school that seemed playful/silly/unimportant?
- What are some of the reasons that people start rumours?
Students received a copy of "How to Write a Theme Statement"
We began reading "A Possibility of Evil," by Shirley Jackson - up to: "Well, apologize to her right now," on page 214
HMWRK: Students should ensure all of their work is up-to-date, that they have read up to mid-214, and that their presentations are ready for Friday's class.
