Update: The girls are still completing the readings and watching films.
The girls are reading Vinegar Girl and New Boy. The girls are also reading Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and Othello. I asked the girls to complete the reader’s guide questions. Angel was ill. Anna and I brainstormed the Maker Lab grant she and Angel are doing. I’m using this as a writing exercise. I want the girls to submit their proposal to the local library for consideration and submission. It’s a chance to try some technical writing. I teach grant writing workshops. Step One is to brainstorm every possible idea for the Makerspace. Friday, we’ll work on the abstract and excel budget. This gives the girls time to finish the readings.
I located guides to teach Othello and The Taming of the Shrew. The movie, Ten Things I Hate About You, is based on The Taming of the Shrew. Watch it first before you decide if your teen should watch this film. I’m sticking to books.
My plan is for each girl to research Shakespeare and do character studies on each play. It’s a work in process.
