Gifted English II: After looking over a cool article about the linguistic and intellectual value of Scrabble, we need to divide into groups and start planning our Lupercal Festival. Don't forget the peer edit assignment due tomorrow--in class, we will be peer-reviewing the Julius Caesar focus paper. Plan ahead: JC test will most likely be Wednesday.

AP Literature: I made enough copies of the Scrabble article FYI, but we're not going to belabor the issue since we have miles to go. You also have a a peer edit in class tomorrow--for the Shelley paper--and we are preparing to transition to the poetry of Shelley and Keats, both of whom have made appearances on past AP exams. Today in class, though--written assessment of "Rime" in journal form. Bring a pen and a full brain.
