HURRICANEE WILMA UPDATE: Channel 13 is the official conduit of OCPS information regarding school shutdowns. As of this moment (Thursday p.m. is when I'm updating this post) there are no plans in place to cancel classes or school activities. Please check at www.ocps.k12.fl.us for further updates or check Channel 13 on DimHouse. (Whoops--I meant BrightHouse.)

Curriculum!!!

AP Literature and Composition: Submit your first focus paper for Hamlet, and we'll continue assessing Act III. Fifth period paraphrased the soliloquy yesterday, so first will today, and then move seamlessly into the play-within-the-play.

Gifted English IV: "Death Be Not Proud" by Donne.

Gifted English II: We are wrapping up the Icarian unit today; I will have you answer some questions about the Ovid translation, and then complete a compare/contrast of any two of the works we have studied. (I recommend doing a TP-CASTT analysis of the Auden poem. . .)
