Last week, I shared some pictures that a student had taken on my camera. These top two pix are also from that group of photos. Springtime at CFS is truly a beautiful event. Something new pops out each day!
Elise wanted to get her American Literature classes up and moving this week. They are reading The Scarlet Letter. Here are some of the group assignments...along with photos to illustrate...
In the manner of Dr. Seuss (or any rhyming poet… Frost?), tell the conversation that Hester and Dimmesdale have in the forest to plan their escape.
Act out the four interactions that Dimmesdale has at the beginning of Chapter 20 (XX) [before he goes home]… what if he said all of the things he thought? What would he say?
In a series of physical poses (statues), show the progression in character for (1) Hester, (2) Pearl, (3) Dimmesdale, and (4) Chillingworth through the novel to the point where we are now (Chapter XX) as a simultaneously posted set of pictures.
This was a fun activity!
S.A.L.T. & P.E.P.A.
(Students Advocating for Love and Tolerance: Protecting Equality and Protesting the Amendment) Sunday afternoon from 1-4 in the US Meeting Hall, Randall's Dinner Party Civics class will host a conference on Amendment One for students, teachers, parents, and friends. Information will be shared about the amendment, high school activism, and how to create a vision for activism in the Triangle. Following a variety of speakers, break-out sessions will be offered. We are excited about this afternoon conference, which is open to other high school students in the area. All are welcome to attend.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
