Our first short day!

Advanced Placement Literature and Composition: Brief discussion on college application essays, followed by a continuation of yesterday's work with Achebe's indictment of the novel. I asked you to bring your summer packet with you so that we could work with the character description of the Accountant. Good times, people. Good times. How's that focus paper coming along?

Gifted English IV: Distribute textbooks and take a look at its layout, followed by a riveting lecture/discussion on Romanticism from 1798-1832.

Gifted English II: Rip through the last vocabulary words together with speed and alacrity; existential thought in a nutshell. Don't forget your first draft, due Friday in class!!! Third period--you will check in with me tomorrow, then go to the Sophomore Class Assembly.
