L.A. Blog-Welcome Back!

Good afternoon, parents! We are already in our second week of January, and the students are already starting several projects.
The students will be writing a research project on a topic of their choice. The topic needs to be able to be researched, so I gave the example that Taylor Swift isn't a good topic for research.

Unfortunately, Lorde isn't a good topic either.
Some of the students' topics include Hurricane Katrina, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Ohio State football. This week, the students have to write three source cards telling me that they've found reliable and in-depth sources for their project.

We have also begun our Shakespeare unit! The students are going to read A Midsummer Night's Dream in class and on their own. We will also be diving into Shakespeare's language, the complexity of his characters, and analysis of one of the best comedic plays of all time.

Next week, we have four days of school, and the students will continue researching their topics and preparing to write their reports. They will also move forward with Shakespeare and further our analysis.

Have a great week!
Ms. Daly
