I would highly recommend checking out previous and future blogs for links to English kings and queens. The links may be embedded in other hours, so check out the full blog for all of your ethos-building needs.
1: Unit 20 vocabulary began -- we most likely expedite this unit so that we may finish before spring break. The only other item on the docket was the MO Student Survey, which humorously took the majority of class time.
2: After vocabulary time, you were introduced to synthesis-style prompts, scoring evaluations, and rangefinders. For homework, finish reading the 7,8,9 examples, and we will look over these tomorrow.
4: After the last of the vocabulary words, we spent quality time with Henry VIII and his speech strategies towards Parliament, the Church, and the hoi polloi. While you do not have a homework assignment for tonight, you are more than welcome to pre-read the Elizabeth texts for understanding.
Want to sound more knowledgeable about Elizabeth I in class tomorrow?

You can check out any of the film versions listed here: http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/elizafilms.htm
7: In theory, we completed all of the items listed under second hour. Due to a family health issue, I most likely will not be updating the blog this evening.
