Today, Bella completed the first half of Warm-Up #7 in "Calisthenics for the Brain." We worked on reading strategies: Main Idea - #1 "Determining the main idea of a passage," and Audience, Purpose and Tone - #1 "Which text is most formal?" She completed writing her Duke of Venice's press release letter. We moved onto discussing and writing a response to the following question about Act 1 Scene 3: "Discuss how appropriate you think it is for Brabantio to take his complaint to the Senate at this moment. If you were the Duke or a Senator, would you consider this to be a public or a personal matter?"
