I get my tax refund today! Oh, wait. That's not really important to you, now, is it?

AP Literature: More of Practice Test 2, and go over Jane Eyre reading thus far. Teeny quiz next week on the first part of the novel, to ensure that you are on track. (Only up until Lowood school.)

Gifted English IV: Finish "Pepys" and get ready to transition into Daniel Defoe. Grammar activity with analogies.

Gifted English II: Author of the Day presentations; review SAT Vocab Subset 2; look at The Elements of Style rules 11-15. Poem for the day: "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot, along with the music. Great way to learn simile, metaphor, personification, and visual/auditory imagery.

WRITING CENTER OPEN BEFORE, AFTER SCHOOL, DURING LUNCH.
