It's the second full of week of classes, and we are slowly but surely getting into our classroom routines and "finding out grooves." We've been reading short stories and discussed nuclear fallout today in English II. One of our short stories, "Searching for Summer," served as a great link to articles about Fukushima's and Chernobyl's nuclear disasters.
English I students have been analyzing different aspects of literature like plot, setting, and theme.
We just finished reading the epic poem, "Beowulf," in senior English, and those students will begin working on a choice board tomorrow. A choice board is table with different activities and projects that relate the text. Students can choose which questions they answer, so it gives them some freedom of choice.
English III students also finished writing their creation stories today. I can't wait to read them because I'm always impressed with students' creativity.
It's been a great school so far!
