According to one of my students, who we'll call Danny, since that's his name, my class today for AP is "boring," which means that I'm doing my job. Yup.

APees: Close reading of a passage from HofD and discussion of the following thematic elements:

• Structural analogy to The Canterbury Tales
• Idealogical analogy to Huckelberry Finn (the idyll of the river, etc.)
• Possible roles of light imagery
• Use of connotation in literary passages

Gifted English II: First group meeting for the LUPERCALIAN FESTIVAL!!! Groups One, Two, and Three will coordinate and plan for a group presentation on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2008.
Afterwards, we will finish watching Act V of JC and work on a grammar assignment (sentence modeling).
