EOC2+3 // R&J I.ii-iii

Much of the morning was devoted to the EOC English I Subparts 2 and 3 tests for the Freshmen. It wasn't until 4th period that classes got back onto regular schedule.

In those classes, we continued reading R&J. 5th and 7th periods did a particularly nice thing: they recorded their live reading to share with students who missed class because of the test this morning.
Please feel free to use the tracks below as a guide, and read along with your classmates!

R&J: I.i

When students return tomorrow, Weds, we will take the Membean quiz, and then continue on with Act I, Scene iv.
