Ms. Miller went over the Act 4 and 5 reading guide with you guys, and we took our quiz. The password is peach.

After the quiz, I went over the instructions for the Othello Project. A few notes:

  • There are four elements that I will be specifically teaching.
  • We will do all of the projects on paper, but we will be doing the metacognitive parts on the computer. That is what you will turn in to the dropbox in Blackboard.
  • This will be due on February 14th because I WUV YOU GUYS SO MUCH, but if you turn it all in early, you can get some extra credit.
  • I create written instructions and examples of everything, so yes – I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE PROJECTS, TOO. I do all of the work so that I know much time it should approximately take for you.
  • A lesson that I learned: When I wrote my metacognitive part for the pie chart, I did it over Hamlet. It was really hard. The reason is it was so hard is that I haven’t read Hamlet in about twenty years.  I know the basics, but not enough to feel comfortable discussing a pie chart of guilt. IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE STORY OF OTHELLO THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY HARD FOR YOU. If you have just been copying answers from people and getting by because I am such an awesome teacher (lol!), you may struggle with the metacognitive elements.

It’s the last assignment of the term! Woot!

It’s pretty simmple – Riley is letting the crew use all foldables on the final exam – AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN THE DROP BOX AND PRINTED. You can’t just borrow/copy other people’s foldables.

If you show up to class with a foldable and have a zero in the gradebook, you won’t be able to use it.

The ABC Book is an easy foldable that is reviewing everthing that we have done in class so far.

We are using PowerPoint and for each letter of the alpabet, we are going to create a slide. For each letter, I need a word (title), an image, and three facts about that word. You can use words, sentences, or phrases. Try to find significant and/or important facts that you will be able to use on the final exam.

So, as you can see here, The title is “B is for Beowulf”, the clip art is of a dragon, and there are three facts. Ignore the “Black Plague” bullet – that was just an example of another B title that could have been used.

When you get this done, drop it off in the drop box and Riley will print it in color. It will look like this:

You will then cut and tape the slides together. Fold them so that you havea n accordion book that looks liek this, only longer:

All late work has to be turned in on Wednesday! The drop boxes will be closed on Wednesday at 4:00.
