Hope everyone had a terrific three-day weekend, and is ready for some academic challenges and an opportunity to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina! We have a big week ahead of us.

Advanced Placement Literature: Discuss Oedipus Rex and answer questions on the John Updike poem on page 947 in the lit anthology. Reminder--go straight to Guidance tomorrow instead of class! Fifth period will also address some multiple choice questions from the CLIFF book.

Gifted English IV: Begin screening Becket. Also, I will go over the Chaucer memorization assignment. Good times. Good times.

Gifted English II: Introduction to Greek tragedy. We will be reading Antigone by Sophocles soon. Also, I have PSAT vocabulary for you, and our Author of the Day today is J.G. Ballard.
