Wow--the week is almost over. Can you believe it?

AP Literature: We're watching part of Act I of Hamlet today, followed by the Act I quiz. Hope you read it over again. . .

(Just as a reminder--my favorite lines are "There are more things under heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. . ." and "Time is out of joint/O cursed spite. . ." and, of course, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark"!)

Gifted English IV: College/Scholarship Workshop. Progress check for everyone--where are we, what do we need to do? We're also going to work on Pastoral Poetry and proof college essays.

Gifted English II: After the fun and frivolity of the Author of the Day quiz yesterday, time to settle in and enjoy the denouement of The Count of Monte Cristo--a film screening that would have gone much faster if I hadn't kept interrupting the film with little things like, say, instruction.
