Today in English 10 we spent the first half practicing for our provincial exam: students completed the writing section. I handed out a pink sheet that gave several tips for the provincial exam; students used this while they wrote.
We finished reading Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet. (we learned what the word bawdy means and what the word pun means).
Finally we watched a 12 minuted Ted Talk by Tony Porter called a call to men (watch it again here). We watched this TedTalk to educate ourselves about the role that men should play in helping to improve this world, but also we imagined it would have been a good video for Mercutio to watch.
Oh, I bought donuts for the class. I'd like to wish you all a Froehliche Weihnachten! (that's Merry Christmas in German)
