Today I am out all day at a meeting. We worked on Act 4 vocabulary and read act 3 agaib in the interactive reader.

If you want to see what you need to dress like for the Shakespeare Festival, view the Julius Caesar presentation on weblockers.

We have read Julius Caesar up to the funeral scene. Today we will take a test worth 40 points on what we have read so far.

We also will go over the extra credit dress up for the Shakespeare festival.

Later Warren

Today was a pretty smooth day. we took brief notes on the continuation of Act II-1 and then read it. Then we watched part of the old video with Marlon Brando as Marc Antony. It is good to let you see the words now with acting, but it's a bit old.

Homework is to work on your book reports!

I need to be sure to keep this up!

Today we had a short day because of the assemblies.

Person of the Year essays are due Wednesday. We will start back up with Juilus Caesar tomorrow too by finishing Act I.
