Hi, this is Mrs. Bubenik, and I'm writing my first ever blog entry.
We've been celebrating the arrival of Cora and sending Ms. Gianini our best wishes for a speedy recovery and many enchanting moments with her new daughter.
While she enjoys some well-deserved time off, we've been discussing Frankenstein, a lot. There have been some deep insights into the symbolism in the novel as well as the juxtaposition of Victor's mental and physical decline with the creature's increasing humanity. I also heard a great discussion today of the role of women in the novel. (There have been so many other topics discussed, but I failed to take notes, so, lesson learned going forward.)
Today we also shared our free response practices in groups and turned them in. We reviewed the district multiple choice assessment and kept it to review as needed.
For tomorrow, please finish reading Frankenstein and do a close read of the passage that will be used for the timed prompt on Thursday.
For spring break, please find a digital copy of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. This is a short play, so read it and create a book card during your break. When you return, we'll be sharing your observations of the play and discussing gender roles in the Victorian Era.
