TODAY IS TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!!!!!!!! I have extra eye patches if you lost yours. Aaaargh, matey! (Disclaimer: BHS and Ms. Hilley recognize that real pirates are scurvy fellows with limited morals. We are not celebrating REAL pirates but cool fictitious ones like Capt. Jack Sparrow and Capt. Jack Sparrow. Did I mention Capt. Jack Sparrow?)
Ahhhhhh--an early day with no faculty meeting! I will be in my room for at least an hour after school today for anyone who needs help with anything.
AP Literature and Composition: Timed Writing. We have a 43-minute class period today, and at least 40 of those minutes needs to be focused on an AP prompt that serves two pedagogical purposes for our Learning Adventure.
1. Solid practice for the AP exam in May, during which you will have to generate three essays in two hours.
2. An ideological connection to both Oedipus Rex and the Macplay.
You will get these timed writings back tomorrow with feedback for further peer review.
