Advanced Placement Literature and Composition: We're continuing with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Act II. Expect a quiz tomorrow, and please continue developing your reading journals.

Gifted English IV: Macbeth, finishing Act IV, scene iii--a particularly confusing act, since it is largely expository and contains Malcolm's deceitful snare as applied to the puzzled Macduff. I have some supplemental reading for you regarding this tragedy, and want to see how your Macpaper is developing.

Gifted English II: Author of the Day presentations, followed by the conclusion of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum." I am collecting your essays today by 3 p.m. at the latest--an extension from Friday--and assigning a syntactical analysis of Poe's writing. Upcoming event reminder: DRP on Wednesday (10 points) and timed writing on Thursday (40 points.) If you need to make up the Candide check-reading test, see me ASAP.
