Well the plan was to show the 8th grade Far and Away as a pre-Thanksgiving break, immigration treat but, alas, the Media folks couldn't get the feed to work... even though it worked just fine yesterday.
So it was down to the library for back-up to salvage third and afternoon periods. My remaining classes watched "The Monkey's Paw" (for text, click HERE), an excellent production of W.W. Jacob's short story which contains great examples of foreshadowing, mood, and theme. It's creepy also, so the kid's loved it.
Wishing all a safe and warm Thanksgiving holiday.
Cheers,
Mr. Lambert
