I hope everyone enjoyed their day off. I missed my kids, but there was a lot of information to cover in our meetings on Monday, so it was worth the time.
The freshmen got off to a rough start this morning, primarily because the majority of them forgot to read their homework assignment! Luckily for them, I had prepared the wrong quiz, so they didn't have to take it today. They will take it on Thursday, though, so I hope they're ready this time.
We started another ACT rotation today, and I covered guidelines and procedures for the ZILLIONTH time this semester :)
The seniors discussed personal demons and public monsters they face in relation to Beowulf, and I was impressed by their willingness to be so open and forthright in sharing their feelings. We spent some time discussing the end of Beowulf, which I'm SURE they all remembered to read over the weekend, and we connected the journal starter to the literature.
After lunch we took notes over comparative analysis writing and I assigned the DSCC homework for the week, which students will use as a model to write their own comp/cont essay on tone in Anglo-Saxon literature later this week.
Anyway, it's been a long day, gang, and I'm beat! Signing off but see you soon :)
