Thank you for making yesterday a good, productive day in spite of the air conditioning problems. Hopefully those problems will be rectified by the start of classes today.

AP English Literature: Go over the quizlet from yesterday, a.k.a. Why Ya'll Failed It, and transition into a review of literary analysis tools. I asked you to bring the Foster text with you to help us parse out Conrad, and we may even get to Chinua Achebe's perceptions of the novel.

Gifted English IV: No class today, due to senior assembly. Bring your brain tomorrow, ready to work!

Gifted English II: Check-reading test on Death of a Salesman and The Stranger, followed by review of the first twenty literary terms. We'll finish today with a discussion of existential philosophy leading into our deconstruction of Camus.
