Week of October 5, 2015
11th Academic English
This week we will continue identifying clauses in sentences.  We will use this skill to classify sentences according to structure.  Later in the week or early next week you will take a test on Sentence Classification.  Make sure you prepare for this assessment.

12th Academic English
This week we will begin a study of Arthurian literature.  You will view two documentaries, one on King Arthur and another on his kingdom, Camelot.  When we finish viewing these works, you will read and outline introductory notes on page 161 of the literature anthology.  We will read together and discuss "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," p. 162+, and a selection from "Morte d'Arthur," p. 176+.  Don't forget that the new due date for your Beowulf Project is Thursday, October 8th.  Make sure you are ready to hand in your project at the start of class on Thursday.  No late projects will be accepted.

Theatre Production
This week you will finish work on your costume project.  Expect to present your work either Wednesday or Thursday.  We will look at theatre articles via the Internet and you will write a response to one of those articles you select.  The response will be due on Tuesday, October 13th.  Later in the week we will begin viewing Auntie Mame in preparation for work on a blocking project.
