Taming of the Shrew 2013

WOS

Have a warm, restful Summer Tantasqua!

WOS:

Taming of the Shrew....it is a wrap!  We finalized our class production of our final project.  I will post your movie on the blog once the editing is finalized.  I can't wait to see the final product!

Great job guys!

We broke into small groups to review/study for the final.  Reminder, you may bring in one page of notes to assist you in answering the final exam essay questions.

You will take your final this Monday.

Good luck, and thanks for being such a fun class.  I had a blast teaching you!

Brit Lit:

Today your Ghost story assignment was due.  I passed out the rubrics for the grade, and we identified the 5 allusions within your paper.  On the last page I also asked you to list each allusion and explain the specific reference, and how this directly contributed to your story.

A completed assignment consists of the following:
Assignment Rubric
4 page ghost story
Allusion menu, with 10 original allusions.
Original Storyboard

I answered any final questions that you may have had on the final Exam.  A Block takes their exam Friday, D Block on Monday.

I gave out term grades, and your final average before the final exam grade.  Reminder:  You final exam grade count towards 10% of your final year end grade.

As always in life, try and end each stage with greatness....

WOS:

We worked on filming/editing the modern parody of The Taming of the Shrew today.

Brit Lit:

We continued reviewing for the Final.

We read a NYT article on allusions.

We watched 4 examples of Shakespeare allusions in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

We moved the due date of your ghost stories/allusion assignment to this Thursday. 

 I will be afterschool today if anyone would like to review for the final or make up any last minute missing assignments.
