We finished the chapter on the Russian Revolution today. Students worked on finishing the map questions on page 564, the section 3 questions on page 568 and the Chapter Review questions on page 570-571.
The date for the Russian Revolution test will be Thursday, May 12 - which means you have over a week to study for this test.
I handed out the test outline and have uploaded it to this page for anyone not in class today. I also uploaded the notes for the chapter as well.

We began the new (and final) unit for this year, Romeo and Juliet. Students looked at The Prologue, and for most students, it was their first piece of Shakespearean writing. We worked at translating this line by line into modern English and you all did a great job!
I then handed out the first assignment. This is on some of the historical family feuds. Students were broken up into groups and assigned roles and tasks to complete this project. We discussed a due date and because of the short week this week and the Drama Festival next week, we decided on Wednesday, May 18 to start the presentations. Each group will research the information on their assigned families and present/teach what they have learned to their peers.
ALL work will be completed here at school.

VERY IMPORTANT - we have made a change in the due date for these projects. The due date will now be Monday, May 9. However, tomorrow's class will be last class day I will be able to give to work on these. All work after tomorrow will be done on your own time so manage your time wisely.
** The next two weeks of school are short weeks so my classroom is open every day at noon for you to come in and work on these very detailed projects. You may also make arrangements with me for time after school, as well.
** Please take advantage of this as I know how busy you all are with all the other things in your lives.

We finished all the notes for Act 3 today. If you missed class, be sure to get the notes from one of your classmates or you can always borrow my play.
We also began listening to Act 3 and we finished at the end of scene 1. We will listen to the remaining scenes tomorrow and then we will watch all of Act 3 (to give you the visual of this important act).
