I welcomed students and took attendance. I checked for supplies and collected any outstanding Parent Persuasive Speech Evaluation Forms. I handed out the LRT March Calendar and Blog Log #1. I explained how to complete Blog Log #1. I reviewed Part 1 of Dead Poets' Society. We then watched Part 2 of Dead Poets' Society, pausing periodically to answer study questions and discuss the movie. In particular, we addressed Todd's fear of speaking in front of others and pondered what Knox's fear was. We concluded Part 2 after the scene where the group is asking Knox what Kris said after he read the poem to her in front of the class (1 Hour and 30 Minutes into the Movie). Students completed questions 22-56 of the study guide (Answer key is posted on Edline) and we discussed the movie. Students then began responding to the LRT blog (homework).
***Special Note for 5/6 A and 7/8 A--Due to the hockey tournament, I held off showing Dead Poets' Society today. There were too many students missing and it would not be possible for everyone to obtain a copy of the movie. Therefore, I'll modify the schedule over the next few classes to get those two classes caught up. Regardless of the class that you are in today, you should be able to work on Blog Log #1 (105 points) but you should not complete the Dead Poets' Society blogs listed below. Those will be assigned after you see Part 2 of Dead Poets' Society.
