REMINDERS: Sophomores have a focus paper on JC due tomorrow by 3 p.m. Don't forget! The assignment is posted here on this blog if you've lost your handout. The Writing Center is open both lunch shifts today to assist you.

Advanced Placement Literature and Composition: We're finishing our discussions on Mr. Keats today, with critical essays to supplement our view. Questions on Keats and discussion on elements of Jane Eyre--how does Bronte, essentially a Victorian, embody the same Romantic ideals as her poetic compadres? Remember that chapters 1-10 of JE are due Wednesday.

Gifted English IV: R and G Are Dead, and a one-question quiz. Tomorrow we meet in the Media Center to work on the research paper, so be sure that you have already acquired your note cards. I will have some tomorrow for the low, low price of a dollar each. Well, not a dollar.

Gifted English II: Finish Act IV of Julius Caesar, hand back graded assignments, and discuss the final aspects of your focus paper. The FCAT Writes! test is coming up soon (as in next week) and we also need to address the particulars of your writing task for that assessment.
