Welcome to Standardized Testing Month! (Well, for the sophomores, anyway.)

Next Tuesday, you will all take the FCAT Writes! exam during periods 1, 2, and 3. Please check the schedule on the board to ascertain which room you will be testing in.

At the end of the month, the entire schedule will be adjusted so that a significant number of BHS students can take the FCAT itself--reading and math. I'll post that schedule as soon as it is publicized. It will not affect AP classes.

Speaking of which. . .

Advanced Placement Literature and Composition: After our Jane Eyre quiz, I'd like to take some time to discuss the "out-of-body" essay on Keats, and engage in some bildungsroman reflections of our own. Also, we have a creative project coming up. . .

Gifted English IV: Back to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Quiz tomorrow!

Gifted English II: Julius Caesar "scavenger hunt" and sign up for Lupercalian Festival. JC objective test tomorrow--bring a pencil!
