Guten morgen!

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day, an unofficial holiday created by two slackers who love to play with language. If you need insight into Pirate Linguistics, please see www.talklikeapirate.com. Aaargh, me hearties.

DISCLAIMER: Neither the Information Society nor Ms. Hilley advocate actual piracy. Pirates were bad to the bone, and had poor dental hygiene, to boot. ITLaPD is intended to celebrate the Johnny Deppness of Pirates of the Caribbean, and not to instill a desire for violence, pillaging, or bad grammar in the youth of today.

Advanced Placement Literature

You might hate this, but you'll thank me later--we need to do another multiple choice practice session for the AP Lit exam. CLIFF book, Practice Test #1. Good luck.
I will also be giving you the Macessay assignment. I'm still finishing the Oedipapers, so please be patient.

Gifted English IV

Chaucer Prologue, part III--and content vocabulary! Craziness.

Gifted English II

Author of the Day today is Jane Austen, Victorian novelist. We are finishing Antigone today, in preparation for our in-class test assignment tomorrow. Also, I'll be distributing the take-home assessment (essay format.) I'll collect the grammar homework at the end of the period.
