Off to the Races

Good morning! It's so odd to go from a completely laid back pace to racing at breakneck speed, but that's exactly what we're doing. Last week was so busy, and I got so behind on my pacing, but everything ultimately came together. Yesterday (Saturday) was a busy day as well, full of family and football, but today I'm back to the grind. I spent Friday night, Saturday early morning, and the morning so far planning and creating, so I'm set to share this next week with you:

English 9 - we will get background information on Shakespeare, his society, and we'll start Romeo and Juliet.

English 10 - we will get background information on Orwell, Soviet history, and we'll start Animal Farm.

I'm sure I'll get a bit behind again (I usually do), but I'm going to try to hit my goals and be in the text by the end of the week.

Here's the break down of schedules for the week:

English 9

• Monday, 9/9 - bell work; get academic words of the week - define for homework; small group exploration of The Globe Theatre, Shakespeare, and Elizabethan society.
