Betrayal

Grade 9 Math Homework:
- pg. 335 #1-8, 11
- finish rough draft questions and answer key 

Grade 10 English:
Today in Grade 10 English class we had "the best lesson ever" according to Mr. Nathan Fehr. I don't think it really had to do with the content (or even the teacher), but rather that we got to go outside. Regardless, the grade 10s came up with two excellent scenarios that both demonstrate betrayal. On Friday we brainstormed ideas relating to betrayal (see below), Monday the students planned their scenarios, and today we recorded the five still images (tableaus) that each group designed. This activity was used as an introduction to our Shakespeare unit on Julius Caesar. I enjoyed seeing the 'dramatic' side of the students today, and look forward to the upcoming weeks! Check out the scenarios below and see if you can tell the story of betrayal from the five images!
