We practiced using a map of Australia.

Then the students did an activity where they planned a band trip across Canada and calculated the distances between 7 cities on the tour.

ELA 9A & 9B

The students practiced their poems for Music Festival.  Then we finished watching Act 3 of Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.  Then we started to watch Act 3 of Romeo and Juliet with Hailee Steinfield and Douglas Booth. The students are looking for the style of filming (music, sets, costumes) and how the versions differ from the original play (which we are reading) and each other.  They are completing a summative viewing activity.
