On Monday and Tuesday the students are viewing their documentaries and handing in their accompanying essays. The students have been working in small groups for the last month on this culminating project to The Scarlet Letter, and I am really looking forward to viewing their work.
Last week the students viewed a PowerPoint presentation on American Romanticism and learned a new method for note taking. Today they were assigned to read Washington Irving's short story "The Devil and Tom Walker." They will take a quiz on the story on Wednesday.
There will be school-wide testing on Thursday and we will pick up with Romantic literature on Friday with a close read of the poem "Thanatopsis."
Have a great week!
