Happy Friday! Tonight, we play Dr. Phillips, and I'm sure another astonishing victory is in store for the Boone Braves. Wear orange and white today and revel in your revelry.

Before first period, we will be collecting for Project X-Mas. I am asking second period to count the coins during BBC and then we will make our first deposit with the school bookkeeper during third. One week down; three to go! Awesome!

Gifted English II: Author of the Day, followed by a review of "Top of the Food Chain" and collection of your discussion questions on "Modest Proposal." Then. . .and I hope you brought your textbooks, because I had you write down to bring your textbooks. . .we'll be reading a satirical tale by Mark Twain called "The Lowest Animal."

HW: Read Candide.

APees: Hamlet Act III quiz, followed by a lively discussion of the Sample Test IV from the Sixth Edition AP Practice Book. The passages were fascinating, but we need to look at how you address questions in this format. I am also distributing the next focus paper assignment, which is due next Friday. You have three topics to select from.
