Friday - Today 8th graders were testing all day - no language arts class today.
Thursday - Today we assigned parts and began to read the play from our literature anthologies.
Wednesday - Today we started our study of the script of "The Diary of Anne Frank". In their journals, students responded to the following prompt: "People of all ages make important contributions to the world. What impact do you now have on others? What impact do you hope to have later in your life? Think about how education and life experience might affect your goals for the future."
We also introduced the following vocabulary words:
apprehension
disgruntled
foreboding
fortify
indignantly
pandemonium
remorse
unabashed
We did a quick review on setting, characters, conflict, events and resolution because students will need to identify those pieces in the play.
We watched the following video for background knowledge:
