Miller with then wife...

Soph Lit:

Today in class:

We continued our notes on Arthur Miller. We began acting act one in All My Sons.

We continued to define the idea of the American Dream, and explored how it has radically changed over the last 50 years.

It has been a crazy and disruptive week. Recharge and set your focus for next week, when we will get much further into the content of the play.

Brit Lit:

Today in class:

We began our discution on the history of stories. We played a modified version of telephone pretending that you were all small villages. The story was passed around in two parts. This was to illustrate the change that happens in the oral tradition. It also led to our discusion on the written word.

I had you write a short one page story that had a unique setting, 2 characters, and the conflict of lying. Please finish these for Monday.

Meanwhile, here is the link for what Beowulf sounded like:

Welcome!

So you found it....welcome. This is my class blog set up to help pass information onto you about things that we are doing in class. It is a great resource should you miss school or need a reminder about what we covered in class.

I do my best to update it daily, so please check back if it is not yet updated.

Meanwhile, please feel free to poke around old posts to get a feeling for the things that we may do in this class.

I am looking forward to working with you.
