Shakespeare:
I introduced the ipads and assigned each of you one.
We went over the rules and signed out your ipad for the year. Please always use the same #.
We went to the globe and saw it using cool virtual reality. This allowed us to project it on anything- see pictures above :-)
In small groups we reported back on what we found out researching the Globe.
I asked you to find 10 facts that we know about the life of the Bard. I gave you notes on what I want you to know. The truth is, we don't know very much about him at all.
I passed out Hamlet.
HW: Have your journal for Tuesday.

Brit Lit:
Today:
I passed out and assigned ipads.
We went over the rules. Please treat them kindly- they were purchased for you and we want them to stay nice.
A block: we defined Kenning and went around the room giving ourselves a kenning to describe each of us. We finished the Seafarer and answered questions 1-4 at the end.
B Block: We read the graphic novel for Beowulf: http://waltonhigh.typepad.com/files/beowulf_the_graphic_novel-1.pdf
HW: Make sure you have a dedicated journal for Tuesday.

We took a quiz on your reading.
We did a series of acting games designed to make us all feel more comfortable acting out the plays in class.
HW: Read ch 2+3 in Shakespeare Alive!!!!
Get journal for Tuesday.

Brit Lit:
Today:
We wrote our own made up creation stories and looked at the similarities in the things explained.
We played the game telephone to show how telling a story orally wrecks almost every part- hence the need for the written word. This is where our Brit Lit. story begins....
We took notes on the earliest forms of writing.
We read The Seafarer. B Block also answered questions 1-4 at the end of the story.
