I am not at my best today--call it National Boards Sleep Deprivation. Apologies all around, especially to Mr. AJVB, to whom I was fairly caustic in first period.
Here's what we did:
AP Lit: Badly executed quiz on The Orchid Thief and discussion of various things Floridian. It went mostly well near the very end.
Gifted English IV: Teeny quiz on Romanticism, followed by "The World is Too Much With Us" by Wordsworth.
Gifted English II: HW for the weekend: Bring in a review of a cultural text for collaboration and review on Monday. Today, we went over puns, the outside reading assignment, the need to sit in a decent fashion in today's clothing, lemurs, long Welsh town names, Poem of the Day, and the need to embrace controversy as a writing subject. Congratulations to Savannah for being published in New Voices courtesy of tomorrow's Orlando Sentinel!!!
For the record, here is the name of the town I love so much in Wales: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
