Today we started a play in class. The play is called “Fences”, before starting the play we read over what we were doing and how to complete the assignment we were assigned, then we watched a trailer over the movie for the play. We also watched a documentary on the author, which talked about the play and other short stories he wrote. Before reading the play we talked about what the play may be about based on the title, this lead to a conversation about metaphorical and physical fences and why people build them. We then presented the roles of the characters for the first act of the play and started reading. Since the book is pretty short and Mr.Rease wants everyone to get a chance to read he announced that we will be changing the roles up every day.
Today we did some EOC practice, by practice i mean we read two different passages and answered constructed responses over each passages. We also did some argumentative research with both passages because that will also be in the EOC. Since that took all class period we just worked on the questions until the end of the period. These last few weeks are going to be going over EOC like questions to help prepare us for the EOC. Overall, today we just worked on preparing ourselves for the EOC.
Today we presented our projects from yesterday. Since my group had to present we decided to go first. Our presentation was pretty good in my opinion, i feel as though we did what was required by the rubric and we succeeded in our presenting, apart from our eye contact and things of that sort. We didn’t do much after we had presented, since that took up the first half of class. After the last person presented we were given a test like sheet where we answered questions based off the passage for the rest of the class period. The class was easy today apart form the presenting part, the discussion questions were pretty easy and straightforward.
