Daily Annoucements
I post here daily about what we accomplished in class each day, including handouts and links available to students on my CANVAS site.

Day 38, Semester 2 After 10 minutes of reading and our daily Book Madness, we began to work through our understanding of Brutus' soliloquy that students read for homework last night. While they discussed at their tables their understanding of the meaning, claim, and key words in each stanza of Brutus' speech, I checked their homework for completion. Then we focused as a group on identifying an action that Brutus is doing in each stanza (-ing words) and why he is doing those actions. Once we understood how and why Brutus convinced himself to kill Caesar, we looked at the rest of the vocabulary words on our list that will appear in the two funeral speeches. Students then previewed both funeral speeches (Brutus and Mark Antony) and chose one to annotate for homework tonight. This annotation will become the planning/outline they will need to begin writing the rhetorical analysis paper. Homework: Read either Brutus' or Mark Antony's funeral speech, and follow the instructions at the top for the now-familiar annotation process. Use the No Fear Shakespeare link to find a translation of the text to check your understanding.
