Here We Go

Well the implementation has begun. With a few hiccups at the beginning we have begun the Romeo and Juilet unit. The GLE100 class seems to be enjoying the play so far and loved the KWL chart - partly because they were familiar with the concept and partly because they could 'show off' what they knew about the play. Reading was a bit difficult because they struggle to follow along and several student forgot their role by the time it was there turn. In order to deal with this Liana and I created a chart with the cast of characters and velcro name tags so that it was visible for all to see. Yesterday the kids thought we should use a dry erase marker to mark a red X as characters died - the boys especially liked this marker of death. We should finish today and begin the centres tomorrow.
