Wow!! It was a busy four days this week!! If you stopped by the class, you may have heard a flutes, Hamlet being acted out, and lots of fun sound effects for a radio play.
10th graders are finishing up there demonstration speeches, but we didn't quite get them all finished. We have three that will carry over to Monday. I saw some fun speeches on saddling a horse, cleaning fish, making cookies, and even a few athletic endeavors.
8th grade read the radio play "The Hitchhiker". We were lucky enough to make lots of sound effects for the play. From trains, cars, slamming doors to running feet and slapping... and even a few cows mooing. Radio plays are always fun because they make the sound effects are a treat to make to have the play come alive.
"The serpent who stung your father, now wears his crown." Oh, that evil Claudius!! This week we began reading Hamlet. The amazing story of the Danish prince and his struggle with the matter of life and death is always an intriguing unit. Next week we should progress to the poing of learning about the famous soliloquy beginning with "To be, or not to be...."
