Exploring Vocabulary and Literary Themes - March 21st

In today’s bell ringer, we focus on the vocabulary word "diffident," which describes a shy and timid demeanor. We discuss how this impacts communication, emphasizing the importance of confidence in speech. Additionally, we revisit yesterday's discussion on Egaeus and his monomania. Students are encouraged to share their thoughts on the story, including personal likes and insights. As a reminder, there’s a vocab quiz on Friday, so knowing definitions and creating original sentences with each word is essential. Engage in a partner discussion about the narrator's obsession and attitude in the narrative.
