The units that I have been working on for the ttenth grade on To Kill a Mockingbird and the twelfth grade on Macbeth ended with the end of the quarter. When we came back from April vacation I started new units with both grades. It has been hard to start anything with the seniors. They came back from vacation WILD! Especially my college prep seniors.
The sunshine and promise of graduation is hard for me to compete with. Luckily for me the beginning of this unit involves showing the students advertisements and I brought in an episode of that AMC show the pitch for them to watch. I am doing my best to make lessons that keep them interested. engaged, and laughing because any lulls give them the opportunity to start raving about prom and graduation.
It is nice to be able to relate to their excitement though! Graduation is right around the corner!!!!
