As English I students read Romeo and Juliet, they have had the opportunity to attend a masquerade ball at the Capulets mansion, perform the famous balcony scene, and various characters dueled it out in the streets of Verona… all in the name of love and war. #cardinalpride

To help celebrate National Education Week, Lotte, foreign exchange student from Germany, shared what public education is like in her home country. The students were very intrigued with the differences. #cardinalpride

These Cardinal Time Crew members all earned some cold hard cash by having all A’s this quarter and had the opportunity to take a walking field trip to Casey’s for a treat. Way to work hard! #cardinalpride

Students had so much fun practicing descriptive character writing in a “speed dating” activity as they begin their creative writing unit. #cardinalpride

Composition I students engage in a friendly Scrabble Battle to kick off the start of the year. #cardinalpride

What a great way to start off the year with a trip to the library! Students loved getting to reconnect with all their favorite authors. #cardinalpride

@CHSCards Pre-AP Eng I students are reading “Educated” by Tara Westover & researching the benefits of different essential oils due to Tara’s mothers homeopathic essential oil business. Today students created specialized essential oil sugar scrubs they felt best meet their needs.

“O, speak again, bright angel!” These @CHSCards students act out the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet for the class. Students have really this Shakespeare play.

When you are quarantined, but the learning must go on. @CHSCards students join me on Google Meet to hold Socratic Seminars, Ted Talk presentations, and review before upcoming assessments. Posing here for a quick picture are the Pre-AP English I students.

[Shasta Hetherington @TheELAchick]

@CHSCards English I students go to court to hammer out the truth behind the events that occurred to Mayella Ewell from To Kill a Mockingbird. #tkam

[Shasta Hetherington @TheELAchick]

When you can’t be in class and want to still participate in the socratic seminar to discuss your views on our novel, what are you do? Zoom in of course! With technology accessibility and adaptive teaching strategies, classroom instruction and learning looks much different.
