1A
1. Dear Amy. We read a letter to the LA Times’ Amy about whether or not 14 is too young to be in love. Students wrote their own response to the writer in a letter/advice column format.
2. Passbacks. Students received their Wikipedia project grades and their last ACE-IT paragraphs.
3. Act II. We read, listened to, and watched Act II, scenes i and ii of Romeo and Juliet. If you don’t want to lug home a textbook on Thursday, you need to get your own copy of the book, either paperback or electronic.
4. ACE-IT. Students drew quotes from Act II, scenes i and ii out of a jar. They decided whether the quote showed true love or something else. Then they wrote an ACE-IT paragraph proving their point.
HW: None
