The First Day of School: August 7, 2006

Welcome back to Boone High School, team! Here we go:

AP Literature and Composition: Quiz (har har), syllabus, review the requirements for the first focus paper, discuss whether or not Marlow is a reliable narrator. Oh, and that school paperwork that we all have to do on Day One.

Gifted English IV: Distribute Frankenstein, distribute syllabi and other school-related forms, discuss Why We Care About Dead White People. Note: You have a senior assembly tomorrow during this class; report here first and then I will walk you over to the auditorium.

Gifted English II: A veritable river of handouts today--syllabi, literary terms lists, essay assignments, style sheets, and other Fun Things. You have a check-reading test tomorrow in this class on The Stranger and Death of a Salesman. Bring a pencil!!!

The sophomore assembly will be on Thursday during 3rd period.

Also, the first meeting of my club--INFORMATION SOCIETY--will be Friday after school. This is a club for the "intellectually curious" students who would like to usher with the Orlando/UCF Shakespeare Festival, travel to foreign countries, participate in charitable drives, and go to chocolate-making parties. In other words, the best club on campus. There are no dues and everyone is an officer, so I hope to see you after school on Friday!!!
