October 18

IRT: ~20 minutes
WNB: After a four corners activity where students determined their level of agreement with different statements, they chose one statement to respond to in their notebooks:

  1. Too much ambition inevitably leads to disaster 
  2. Politicians are more concerned with power than with issues affecting people's lives 
  3. Violence leads to more violence
  4. Crowds can be easily moved and manipulated to violence.

We looked at examples of different ways to write an introduction to an essay. These notes are available on Classroom.

We learned about ancient Rome and Julius Caesar to prepare for our reading of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. These notes are available on Classroom.

Students who scored below 70% on the literary terms test may retake the test Thursday before or after school or Friday before school. We will go over the whole test in class on Monday.
