English 12 A
Hello parents and students,
As hard to believe, but we are at the end of the last full week for seniors. Next week will be a bit scattered as we have two MCAS days, which means that I will see students for a double block on Monday, and will not see them at all on Tuesday. For a more detailed list of events for seniors, click here.
This week we wrapped up our study of Shakespeare’s Othello. We focused on Act 4 the first half of the week, both reading the play and watching the 1995 Oliver Parker version of the play.
On Monday, students were given two worksheets with important quotations from Acts 1-3 before we moved forward with the rest of the play. Today, students were given another worksheet that covered important quotations from Acts 4-5. Both these worksheets will be great study aids for the final exam, which for this class will take place Friday, May 21 from 7:45-9:15.
Also, on Wednesday of this week, students had their last vocabulary quiz of the year.
Next week we’ll be reviewing vocabulary, The Great Gatsby and Othello for the final exam. The last assignment students will be turning in is the updated and final copy of their character’s Facebook page. This is due Wednesday, May 18.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment below or contact me.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Mrs. Gillis
