Lesson 79

 We did a quick quiz to open the class (Act II).

We looked at the mark breakdown for the year, students received their essays (all but 4 - tomorrow!!!!), and then students received their progress reports. These reports will be re-issued next week, after the quiz and interview are added. 

BLK 6 watched some of the film - BLK 5 took a much needed break.

Lesson 78

 

We opened today's class with a reading of two very strong, but very different narrative essays.

We finished the block by watching the film.

Next block, students will write their final quiz - centred on Act II. Students should have no trouble finding the last few pages of the Act online in their preparation for the quiz :)

Students should then receive their essays, followed by progress reports for the term, before we move on to working with Act III

That means that the quiz for Act 2 will be on Thursday!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Lesson 75

 We opened today's class with watching the film up to the end of the first act.

There will be a quiz on the first act next block - basic plot points, character names, and dramatic terms/devices we have covered during the past few classes are all fair game - it will be multiple choice. 

We then continued reading - beginning with a deconstruction of the Prologue for Act Two 

Blk 5 read to: II. ii. 163

Blk 6 read to:  The end of II.i.

Lesson 82

We caught up - sped through Lesson 81 material - then we read through two key scenes - III. v. and IIII. i.  Block 6  then continued viewing...
