Explorations in British Literature

We went over all the introductory pages in the study guide and took the Introductory Quiz. Then we talked about the Victorian Age and watched the BBC version of our book. It helps so much to put faces to what we read about!

Next week, read the following:

Study Guide Questions — Pages 10-13 (through Chapter 27)

We will finish discussing the previous chapters and have our Quiz #1 and Quiz #2. If there’s something you don’t understand, bring your questions with you. This is a great book, and I know you’re going to enjoy it.

Watch this scene from the book to get an idea what Mr. Gamfield was like.

No-Spin Economics

We received the quizzes back from class last week. (GREAT grades!) We briefly reviewed Penny Candy Chapters 3 and 4 and then took the quiz. Students were also given the answer sheets to study for Penny Candy Chapters 5 and 6 which they had already read.

For next week, we will have a short quiz on Crash Course Economics #4 on Supply and Demand. This is a repetition of Chapter 3 in Penny Candy. We will take a quick quiz on Crash Course #4. (Ten True/False questions) We will then spend the rest of our time examining the coins in America, which the students will find really interesting. (Don’t forget to bring a magnifying glass to class next Monday. Also, watch the following video and complete the sheet you were given.

Debate

You all had your own opinions to offer for the one-on-one debates this week! I liked that you chose your own sides for this debate. Next week, we will finish the last Sylvia Snidely commercial, the one-on-one debates, and then work in teams for or next debate on the JFK assassination. Everyone should do research on what your side needs for the debate and which part you would like to do for that debate. (Public Forum Debate style)
