Weekly Update!

Midterms come out this week. Hope everyone does well!

This week's agenda:

Monday -
  • IB World Geography (Mr. Sutton) - We will be having a quiz on the climate map. Be sure to study the various climate zones and key cities.
  • IB Theatre I (Mrs. Brooks) - The journal entry on Commedia dell'Arte will be due. Be sure to mention all of the activities that we did, including but not limited to the exaggerated movements, the research papers, the video in class, the character status exercise with the cards, etc.
