Students began by preparing, once again, for their final exam. For the first time this year, students were told by their teacher to 'sit down and be quiet and work quietly for 75 minutes straight'. Although this wasn't enough time to finish the exam, this gave students a sense of what the test will be like 12 days from now.
After break we completed reading to the end of Act 4 and then we watched a bit of the older version of the film (beginning at the balcony scene).
For homework, students were encouraged to study for their final exam (studying the notes and handouts I've given as well as completing one of the several online e-exams for English 10. Link can be found on my course outline.). In addition, students should study their yellow quotation sheet and last day's worksheet to prepare for the Romeo and Juliet test next Thursday, Jan. 20th.
