Hello! Here's what we're up to today:

• Checking in
• Details on Q1 and W1 
• Brief historical context
• Enlightenment and Revolution
• No taxation without representation
• Abolition's role in the American Revolution
• Presentation on the first four songs of Hamilton
• Literary terms
• Connotation
• Characterization
• Dramatic Irony
• Situational Irony
• "My Shot" at the White House
• Freewrite and discussion
• Time to listen. For next class, listen to the next four songs.
• Update on self-assessment: I've had to reevaluate how this will be done, since that'll take up a lot of class time to do self-assessment interviews. So rather, here's what we're going to do:
• Hand in your justification for the self-assessment
• I will look at each one, and offer a counter-mark.
• If you want to book a time to come chat with me, either during the marking process or after, you are welcome to. I'm available in the mornings, and Mon-Tues after school.
• Please don't hesitate to ask for any clarification.
