Good morning, sunshines! The amended schedule for today does involve the senior assembly, so listen carefully to the announcements to determine when and where to go.

Gifted English II: Author of the Day: Alice Walker. Peer review for the rough draft of The Stranger/Death of a Salesman paper; students new to the class need to read during this activity. First period has a little game to play, after which we will begin discussing existential theory as it relates to Camus. (Handout from your first-day folder.) Homework this weekend: Work on polishing your paper, which is due Tuesday on http://www.turnitin.com/, and study your first twenty literary terms for a super-easy quiz on Monday. (The quiz would normally be on Friday, but the storm precluded staying on schedule. My apologies for any "confusement.")

APees: Your first focus paper is due tonight at 11:59 p.m. on http://www.turnitin.com/. If you have any problems, e-mail me your paper by the deadline at jennifer.hilley@ocps.net and I will upload it for you. In class, we will be discussing Flaubert and Chopin some more--I'll bet you can't wait! We are also going to College and Career to see Mrs. Cadman this period.
