Be sure you are prepared for the presentations of scenes

Scenes will be present on the day they have been planned regardless of absences. So, if you are in a scene you must be prepared to go on stage the day that you have been assigned (Friday for Block1 and Thursday for block 4). I cannot make exceptions given the very limited amount of class time we have remaining this school year.

Fences performances

The Fences performances will be held in the Little Theater on Thursday (Block 4) and Friday (Block 1). Be sure to come to class prepared to act. If you miss your presentation due to absence or tardiness, you will be assigned an alternate assignment for the 30 points. Break a leg!

Homework over break for blocks 1 and 4

Over break please finish the play Fences. We will discuss the play when you return. Enjoy your break!

Reminders for blocks 1 and 4

We will finish the graded discussion on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on your block. Be sure to bring your stories and poems.

Block 4 Homework for Monday

Read "Family Reunion" and "John Redding goes to Sea", and "Through the Tunnel"  for class on Monday. Be sure to annotate the stories for for following issues:

1. What are the parent/child conficts in the piece? Where do you find them and what is their significance?
2. How are these conflicts resolved?
3. What message does the piece convey about parent and child conflicts?

Block 1 Reminder

I forgot to collect your books after the graded discussion. Please bring your Gatsby books to class. Thanks and have a nice weekend!
