This past week began our adventure into our new novels!
5th and 6th Grade MUR: Students began our Shakespeare unit. We spent time learning about Shakespeare's life and the Globe theater. We also talked about common terms used in dramas. This week we will begin reading Hamlet. Students will have the opportunity to perform portions of the play in class!
7th and 8th Grade MUR: Last week students began an in-depth study of Gothic Literature. Working off our background knowledge from earlier in the year, students will read Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. We will use this unit to spring board off of what we learned in our CCC unit. Students will focus on theme, written response and elements of Gothic Lit.
Both groups continue to work on Greek and Latin roots as well as studying grammar.
