Just in case...

Just so we are all prepared- if you were absent Monday and IF we have off of school on Tuesday- here is your literary terms assignment for Romeo and Juliet.  Just use the internet to define the terms.  

Many of them are terms we have used already this year. We will continue to use them as we apply them to a more difficult text.  

Literary Terms- R&J

See you Tuesday... or Wednesday... or Thursday...

Romeo and Juliet

We are about to begin my favorite unit of the year!  I will post assignments, rubrics, and helpful links here as we go along.  There is a link to the entire online text in the left hand column as well as a link to Sparknotes, which can be very helpful to those that are struggling with the language.  We will read almost the entire novel together in class and my main objective is to foster a love of Shakespeare in my students.  

We'll study Shakespeare's history, his language, and his themes, but we'll (hopefully!) manage to have fun some fun while doing it!  

Shakespeare Webquest

Last week of the 1st semester!!

Well, the best laid plans always have to be flexible!  

This week we were going to finish watching Jane Eyre the first few days and then work on the study guide for your Midterm exams.  I am attaching the study guide for those of you that want to get a jump start.  I know the weeks before break were a little stressful for you with everything due all at once- just wanted to give you the option to get ahead of the game.  We'll talk in each class period about how we want to handle the remainder of this week- finish the movie vs. work on the study guide.

Your exam schedule is here:  Cuyahoga Falls HS Web Page

And your study guide is here: Enriched LA Study Guide (please excuse some of the formatting issues between word and google docs!)

Please e-mail with any questions or concerns!  Stay Warm!! :)
