THANKSGIVING WEEK

Dear Ones,

Happy Thanksgiving! For the first time in recent memory, OCPS is "off" for the whole week of Thanksgiving--thanks in no small part to the new, delayed school calendar. Enjoy this week and spend time with family and friends.

I will be in London.

HW for the Week Off:

APees: If you desire your own copy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, now is the time to buy one. I have a class set and some extras, so you don't technically NEED to buy one, but if you are one of the students who prefers to write in the margins of your own text then you might want to get one. The version I prefer is twelve dollars and features ISBN # 0-8021-3275-8.

Gifted English II: Finish reading Candide!!! I'm not kidding--you have a test the week after break, and we are wrapping up the Satire Unit with this novel. It's hilarious. You know.
