Notes Left for TOC

 B-Drama 10/11. Students may look through the monologues available to them and select one that they would like to perform. They can be found on the window ledge behind my desk. Once students have looked through all the monologues and selected the ones they like the most, they have the rest of the class to work on it. Inform students that the directing project will resume on Thursday and Friday. 

A -English 11. Students are to finish reading Act 2 of Macbeth. They can get into small groups and share their homework questions for scene 3. Please note any students who did not complete these questions. Students then as a class should read scene 4. It is brief. 
Students are strongly encouraged to watch the interviews with the main characters of Act 2 scenes 3 & 4 in MYSHAKESPEARE.COM in class and/or for class tomorrow. By Thursday's class the scene questions for scene 4 are to be completed. 

D- Double Block of Philosophy. The second block after lunch is reserved for independent final project study. Remind students to fill out the google doc outlining what they accomplished in the second block.  For the first block, students need to get the ch.8 Metaphysics handout which is on the little old desk in the front of the classroom. They need to read the first section of the handout entitled 'What is Metaphysics?'.
Upon reading the section, students need to create a shared doc of the items they highlighted and explain why. This is due by the end of the class. Students have no homework but should be reminded that they have a test tomorrow.
