 * SCROLL DOWN TO THE CLASS PERIOD YOU WISH TO VIEW:

Day 46: Block Days, November 5th-6th:**

Students spent this class period in the Media Center working on Caesar Projects and/or Annotated Bibliographies. Reminder was given that if the student met their individual magazine sale goal of $285 in sales, then that student receives a one-week extenson on the Annotated Bibliography (meaning that their paper is due on Friday 11.14).

Students were also reminded that Friday will be a review day for the Act 3-5 Test that will be given on Monday 11.10.08.


 * Day 47: Friday, November 7th:**

Students participated in a Concentration-style review game for Acts 3-5 of Julius Caesar. The test is on Monday and will be 50 questions, multiple-choice and 1 essay question. The essay question is:

Describe the Triumvirate (as shown in your Act 4 notes) and mention the following items in your answer: 1. Who is in the group? 2. What is the group's mission? 3. How does the group go about accomplishing their mission? 4. How does Shakespeare want the Triumvirate members to appear to the play-going audience?

The answer to this should be about 1 page in length and will be worth 15 points on the test. The entire test is worth 115 points.

Students (who did not meet their Mag Sale goal of $285 in sales) turned in their Annotated Bibliographies this morning at 8:00. A copy of the scoresheet / rubric that I will be using to grade them is in the links below.
