English 10 Honors (Period 1): 04.10

At the beginning of class today, everyone had time to work on either their set 14 roots and prefix practice or their write up for their second role model interview (see handouts below). We then reviewed answers for the set 14 roots and prefix practice.

Next, everyone was asked to take about two minutes and respond to the following prompt:

What is something that you feel other people should appreciate about the occupation you have been researching?

Then, everyone broke themselves up into groups of three and used their responses as part of an activity called "A Day in the Life." I explained that this was based on an activity called "The Good Show." We reviewed how "The Good Show" works so that people would better understand how to approach the "A Day in the Life" activity (we only had time for this later activity in class though).

We did not do a "Good Show" skit in class. The skit we did do was based on this format though so I explained how the format worked and how we are modifying it to fit our occupations work.

People were nervous about presenting in front of the class so we broke the class into two sets of groups and groups presented to each other. Then, a couple groups volunteered to present their skit to the full class. We will continue working with our occupations projects next class.
