APees: After a brief, cursory discussion of Act IV and collection of the FPs, we are going to do a practice session for the AP exam that involves a fairly controversial passage. Bring a pencil and be prepared to be challenged--and shocked!

Gifted English II: Whew--aren't you glad that the CMC test is over? You will get the tests back on Monday. Friendly reminder that your CMC paper is still due next Thursday and must be submitted on www.turnitin.com. See me if you have technical difficulties with uploading this.

Also: Please acquire Candide by Voltaire--from a bookstore, the library, or a junior/senior who is no longer reading it. It is a hoot and we will read some of it together in class. For those of you taking AP Euro this year, Candide will complement your studies of all of the "isms" nicely.

Today in class--Author of the Day presentation, and introduction to the Literature of Horror. (Packet ready to go, and it has clip art!!!!!!!)
