In English 12 we have started A Step from Heaven, a novella about a young Korean girl growing up in America and will be taking our first vocabulary quiz tomorrow. Today we reviewed vocabulary and discussed the reading to date.
Period 3: Today we shared our T-shirts and got to know one another a little better. Tomorrow we will be discussing stereotypes...and creating our own characters as we explore this phenomena.
Period 5: We worked on incorporating vocabulary words into our writing and discussed the importance of our writing having a purpose (and a point), as we read the short story: "Predator." Tomorrow we will be looking at introductions and one another's writings.
Period 6: We discussed Oedipus Rex - and how the characters were striving to prevent the prophecy from being realized; the three basic characteristics of Greek tragedy (sense of destiny, inevitability of events & a quest for justice); as well as discussing the seven "deadly" sins: wrath, pride, envy, lust, gluttony, sloth, and greed. In addition, we reviewed vocabulary.
Question of the day:
Is it usually better to learn through experience? Why or why not?
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Tyler
