"This is the House That Jack Built..." / Julius Caesar Intro

College Prep 12

  • Discussed the parallel between the Mother Goose ryhme with the chjapter "The Town that Achmed Built." Smithoson's use of the rhyme provides a stark contrast with the events of the chapter and the innocence of childhood.


  • Students were given chapter 15, "Satan's Clothes Dryer," as the target for Monday. Logs will be graded at that time. Late logs will lose 5 points per day until each group of four is completed.

Grade 10

  • Julius Caesar by Shakespeare was introduced. Students were given the following handouts: act summaries, character descriptions and crossword puzzles for each act.


  • 5 points will be added to each act quiz with the completion of that act's crossword before we begin reading that act.


  • 10 points will be added to the unit test if all vocabulary from the crosswords is written in notebooks.


  • The major characters were introduced, and we read the summary for Act I, which we will start reading tomorrow.


  • Absent students NEED to check here for what was covered and use the above link to read what was missed.
