Dear parents and students,
I would like to take this time to provide you with a quick update on what we have completed last semester and what is ahead for the new spring semester.
Last semester, students read the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. After reading the play, students wrote an essay on the question, 'Who deserve the most blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?' Overall, students provided great analysis of this question in their essays and we had some very interesting arguments. Afterwards, we underwent a unit on news reports. As a final assessment for this unit, students worked in groups to write and act in their own news reports.
To begin this semester, students are focused on speeches. We will analyze and break down some examples of great speeches over history to understand how to create an effective speech. Students will be given free choice of their speech topic and will be given class time to work on it. After we have finished our speech unit, we will be reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
Thank you for your time and attention. Please feel free to email me regarding any questions you may have.
Mr. Chris
