Another week down, another one on deck. We're cruising along now, fighting the distraction of it being May, though the rainy weather is helping us fight through it since the outdoors isn't calling to us to come play. Speaking of playing, though, English 10 has been able to do some fun activities with Macbeth, including making statues, or tableaux, for each scene of Act II. I've included a link to a video of the pictures I took; I hope you can see it:
We also managed to cruise about halfway through Act III, so I'm sure we'll finish the play in the next couple of weeks.
In English 9 we finished reading Chapter 1 of Animals in Translation and we wrote our analytical paragraphs for each section. I'm in the middle of grading them right now. Now they are ready to start a two-week unit on writing MLA research papers.
