We have finished reading Romeo and Juliet and are now watching the Bazz Luhrmann version of the film.  On Friday, students will receive a review sheet for the test, which will be on Wednesday. On Monday, Adam Hayward will be speaking to all of our grade 10 English students about his experiences in Rwanda, with a particular emphasis on reconciliation.  The students are looking forward to this as we have been analyzing connections between reconciliation in Rwanda and the play.  On Tuesday, we will do a follow-up activity to Mr.Hayward's presentation.

We have finished Act 3 of the play so make sure that you catch up with your reading if you were absent.  We are beginning to incorporate more lessons related to reconciliation in Rwanda.  So far, this has been an eye-opening journey for our students, who knew very little about the Rwandan genocide.  We are making interesting connections between Romeo and Juliet and the reconciliation process in Rwanda.  If you missed today's class, or you would like to know more about the genocide, visit some of the web links that I've uploaded. Your next creative extension is due on Monday!
