Advanced Placement Literature and Composition: Dipping back into Keats--reviewing "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer" and "Ode on a Grecian Urn" with questions; transition into "To a Nightingale" preparatory to work with the most gorgeous novel ever written (or one of them): Jane Eyre.

Gifted English IV: We're picking up with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Act I, page 14, before taking a quick-quiz on absurdist theater.

Gifted English II: 3rd period: Go over the essay assignment, due next Tuesday, and make the transition into Act IV of Julius Caesar. 6th period: Act III, scene ii--the speeches, with comparison/contrast between rhetorical modes. Reminder to sophomores: Please come find me before or after school or during lunch if you need help with your schedule. I can help you Wednesday in class, as well.

REMINDER TO ALL CONCERNED: Tonight is AP Night in the Media Center. If you have questions about Advanced Placement courses, plan to attend or send a family member on your behalf.

SENIORS ONLY: Financial Aid Night is Thursday night in the auditorium. Guest speakers will be on hand to present information and help you fill out the mysteriously difficult FAFSA form.
