TOC DAY
Students read their personal novels.
They reflected on the early parts of "A Possibility of Evil," contemplating the setting, and first impressions of the main character, before finishing reading the text.
Students got into groups - each took their own notes as the groups discussed question 1-5 at the end of the story - these rough notes were to come in next class.
Today was all about presentations - students created some excellent work!
Extra kudos to those who lifted up group members, or who pushed themselves to do more speaking they were comfortable with - Bravo!
No homework
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:
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.
We read through two key scenes - III. v. and IIII. i. and then continued viewing the film. Our last block will be a viewing/celebration part...
