Welcome to Florida, Tropical Storm/Hurricane-Wannabe Katrina! Please do no harm and leave quietly.

AP Literature: 1st period focus papers are due; in both classes, discuss dominant themes to look for in Oedipus Rex and go over Sophoclean biography. I have a critical essay I'd like you to read, too, that (hopefully) can give you a focal point for your reading this weekend. (You may disagree vehemently with the thesis of this particular critic--in fact, I kind of hope you do--but it is helpful to see a well-articulated vantage point that can find themes of modernity in ancient Greek texts.)

Gifted English IV: Make-up A/S Unit Test for a few select learners; hand back graded work; Introduction to the Middle Ages notes and then. . .dun dun dun. . .a few moments of Python. . .

Gifted English II: Vocab quiz; discuss "The Pedestrian;" STORY TIME for 3rd period!!!

What a beautiful day. Let's hope it is so for South Florida, as well.
