Today is Orange and White Day as we prepare to take on West Orange. Good luck, Braves and Bravettes, Chiefs and Chieftesses!

Today is also Friday!

Thus. . .

Sophys: Literary Terms Mastery Test (bring a pencil) and Antigone, the Conclusion.

APees: Peer review for MacFocus Paper (bring a pen) and a teeny quiz on Act IV (use the same pen.) Your homework this weekend is to read Act V and prepare to ACT. We hav swords and soundtracks and some tinfoil for "armor," so. . .

(Note regarding Act V: It's almost entirely denouement. This play has been one gigantic build-up to an inevitable conclusion, but you might be surprised by how everything neatly works out. As I mentioned in class, the parallelism in this play amazes me--symbols are repeated, paradoxical predictions have neat solutions, and apparitions take on more than merely hallucinatory imagery. Shakespeare's best puzzle!)
