Weeks 28 - 32
We are reading Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. As we read, students are working on inferencing, context clues to determine meanings, drawing conclusions, and more. After each scene, we will "log" it as a class - write a summary and reflect on the scene. Students will also be completing Contemplation Questions, which ask a variety of questions that connect to situations in the play, as well as a variety of other activities designed to interest and motivate students.
If a student is absent during this time, they MUST make sure to get any scenes, notes and logs from a classmate or myself. All assessments will be open binder, and students will be allowed to use their own personal notes and logs during the assessments. Students will not be given resources on the day of the assessment.
