Day 1

This morning, we discussed the activities and lessons we will be doing/having over the next 2 weeks. Then, we were assigned presentation topics to give a class on to our peers and given time to work on them till lunch. After lunch, we listened to a lesson given by Kat Kuntz on the Shakespearean language and Old English. During the interactive slideshow, students watched entertaining videos about Shakespeare’s works and the history of the English language. After this groups of students performed different scenes from Shakespeare's most well-known plays. Then popcorn read translations of common phrases in Old English and Middle English, before reading an excerpt from the original Bewolf. To end the day everyone answered reflective questions about what they’ve learned on the first day of J-Term.
