Dear Room 111 Sophomores,

We are about to leave poetry behind and begin our
unit on drama. During this, there will be a few
notes to take, terms to know, a little bit of acting,
maybe some videos, and a whole lot of
Shakespeares Julius Caesar. That being said, this
sheet is to outline what the expectations are for
this unit. If you have any questions, you know you
can ask me before, during, or after schoolin
person or via Remind101 or emailing at any time at
megan.heller@bullitt.kyschools.us, so do not
hesitate to ask for clarification! This unit will
continue the use of literary terms and will then
bridge us with our next unit of focusargument!
You will be expected to work in a timely fashion as
we begin vocabulary and practice timed testing as
well on Mondays and Fridays. Study with
classmates for learning vocabulary but do not
work together for lesson activitiesthats
plagiarism. Along with these, you will be
expected to annotate the speeches we go over.
With these speeches you must participate in
discussions!
At the end of the unit, there will be an assessment
that deals with dramanot necessarily JC. Keep
that in mind and be studying drama notes!
