Assignments for December 1st, 2025
Explorations in British Literature
We watched a lot of the video of this play—particularly Maria’s scheme portrayed and a large part of Act III. We answered the questions on pages 14 and 15 in the study guide.
You have already finished reading the play. We will watch some scenes from Act IV and watch Act V as well as finish the study guide. (Quiz #3 on Acts IV and V) Don’t forget to bring your British Literature notebook to class since you are doing pages 51-54 for homework. (Twelfth Night)
Watch this scene that you have already read even though the characters are played by different actors and actresses.
American History
We went over Chapters 12 and 13 and the Chapter Reviews that went with them. You do not have to know everything—just the things I told you to circle. You did a great job with the reports on the Presidents. You covered everything you needed. I hope the rest of you took notes. I will go over each President again before the test. We will do our last two reports next week.
You will do a quiz on the videos at the first of the class. (Multiple choice and only ten questions.) You have no readings—just watch the videos for every answer on the quiz.
James Monroe
John Quincy Adams
The Battle of New Orleans
U.S. Government
We reviewed for our test on the Supreme Court, the Law, Trial, Immigration, and Citizenship. It was very competitive and only one point separated the two teams! Then we took our test and talked about the way the President travels in the Beast and on Air Force One.
Watch these two videos on Presidential travel to see what they look like for yourself.
The Beast
Air Force One
For next week, do one lesson (21) in your notebook. Here are the Crossword answers for page 81 Lesson 21: Army. We will go through all you have done so far and give you the terms to know for the final exam.
Quick Looks at Great Books
We discussed the study guide questions for the first quiz on Silas Marner, watched the BBC video, and took the quiz. We will finish our discussion of Chapters 8-15 and take the quiz on those chapters next week.
Finish reading Silas Marner Part II—Chapters 16-21 and Conclusion. Look over the questions and look up anything you don’t know. Surprise ending with Chronolog saved for you!
Practical Public Speaking
We continued with our Informative speeches today and also did two of the Demonstration speeches. Next week we finish the final Informative speeches with Daniel and Glory first. Then we’ll continue the Demonstration speeches with the following students in this order: Belle, Will, Brian, Braden, Zach, and Landon.
