WNB: Look back at your Tuesday entries (most are "This I Believe" starters). Has your opinion on any of the topics changed? (Maybe you believe more or less strongly about the topic.) Which topic is the most interesting to you? Why? Which topic is the least interesting to you? Why?
We finished up Julius Caesar with a 3-2-1 activity for Act III Scene 2. Working independently, students wrote 3 summary statements, chose 2 significant quotes and explained them, and developed 1 genuine question and answer.
We read Antigone's speech to Creon and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and looked for the claim and rhetorical devices. We then compared and contrasted their messages and audiences. This was good preparation for the argument and persuasion test that we will take tomorrow. Students may use the lit terms packet and their copy of "On Nuclear Disarmament" on the test.
