Spring Fever, The Odyssey, and Pride and Prejudice...

This is the last day before Spring Break! Here in Room 140, we've been studying Homer's Odyssey in English and Pride and Prejudice in Novels. The students are working diligently on analyzing the text in Odyssey, but SPRING FEVER is definitely upon us! In novels, we are analyzing the characters in P&P, and we're also studying the camera actions from the film version of the novel. It has been great! Several of my students are now reading other Austen books which makes me very happy. Today, the students are writing 6 word memoirs based on one of the characters in P&P. I know it will be great. This is the time of the year that always has me reflecting on the lessons I've been teaching, and planning how I want to change things before school begins next August. Hopefully, I won't spend my entire break working on lesson plans. My hope is to read at least a book a day, beginning with Becca Fitzpatrick's Black Ice!

Peace!
