Last Friday we read one of Edgar Allan Poe's chilling tales, "The Cask of Amontillado."
On Monday students worked with a partner to create their own textual questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy- Higher Order Thinking. Today they did an amazing job leading their own small groups through a discussion on the story! It was fantastic to see the groups at work today! Wednesday we are on an alternate schedule for various tests at the high school and Thursday students will quiz over their Cask vocabulary and work on the concept of Irony within this story.
It is a short week, but we have kept very busy! I am continually impressed by the students ability to grasp higher order thinking skills and to venture outside of the box! :)
