After our personal reading, we learned about Prometheus from Greek mythology.
Then we learned about the author, Mary Shelley and her crazy life.

Then we started reading the book Frankenstein and got to letter 4.  We took notes on anything that stuck out to us, especially anything to do with parenting.

Today we did the cover page for the book projects and then had time to finish anything from the term.

.We learned about what Gothic is all about. Here are a couple of videos that will help:

Then we annotated and discussed an article on 7 mistakes parents make. It is on Canvas and is called "Parenting Mistakes Article". Use Kami to annotate online.

and we wrote a Romanticism style poem. This is on Canvas and is called "Romantic You".

DO NOT FORGET THAT YOUR BOOK PROJECT IS DUE BY THE END OF THE TERM.

After finishing the rejection letter assignment, we had a reading day!

After reading for 15 minutes,

We shared our Romanticism art/poem with the class and what made them uniquely Romantic.

Then we had time to finish our rejection letter on Canvas.

We learned about Romanticism and Romantic art by watching these two videos:

We got an assignment to find a Romanticism poem or work of art. We will share them next time and state the Romantic elements of each.
This assignment is on Canvas.

We wrote a business rejection letter.

​We listened to a podcast and took notes using the "what" note-taking strategy.

We analyzed the elements of plot and plotted a story that we knew.
