SUB PLANS FOR ORANGE DAY JANUARY 26
SUB PLANS
JARED GOLDSMITH
JANUARY 26 2017
Thanks for subbing
for me today. My schedule goes as follows. It is an ORANGE day
BLOCK 1: Free
period. Relax. Drink coffee or tea.
BLOCK 2: College
English. Please have this class work on the HAMLET project. I have
included photocopies of this to pass out to the class. This class is
¾ through the play....we haven't had a “teaching” class, it
seems, since before Christmas...haha! Please tell them that we will
finish the play when I get back, but, for now, to work on this
project which will NOT be a paper, but rather an in class
PRESENTATION (they will get up and share what they found in front of
the class). This will not be due next Monday; it will be due next
Wednesday. I will check in with them on Monday if they have any
questions. They may work with a partner if they want. The assignment
says “library research” on it. Obviously, they are in the
classroom and not the library. They should feel free to use
Chromebooks, etc. If some want a pass to the library, please feel
free to let them go as you see fit (and just make sure it is okay
with Ms. Johnson too).
FOCUS TIME: In my
classroom. Many of my homeroom kids will be in there. Please take
attendance as usual.
BLOCK 3: LUNCH DUTY
with Mr. Pete Bolduc. You are in the cafe for the first lunch...then
you get a little break....then you head down to the cafe again for
the second lunch. After the second lunch, you are free until the bell
rings for block 4
BLOCK 4: College
English. Please see Block 2 assignment
I hope you have a
good day today. Thank you again for subbing. Please tell the students
that I am copying/pasting these sub plans on my class web site if
they have any questions. Www. Goldsmithenglish.blogspot.com
Thanks again

ORANGE DAY
COLLEGE ENGLISH
Today we FINALLY had class and got caught up on all-things-HAMLET related....we 'read' the film for most of Act 3, taking notes and discussing as we went. We read a few pages in the book starting at page 153 line 290...
A sheet of paper was passed out, and on this sheet of paper were dozens of "emoji" faces...your assignment for Tuesday is to consider all the moods on this sheet, and pick the one YOU think best represents Hamlet through the play thus far. You do not need to use only act 3...you can use the whole play! I will be looking carefully at the EVIDENCE you provide to back up this "mood." Look through all our notes and find specific examples from the play and use them in your composition. Please have this for me on Tuesday....
