Today is Registration Day for the sophomores. Meet in the Guidance lobby. Second period--this means you will be watching BBC in the lobby. I think this is a good day for a subsequent BBC quiz. . .

Note to all students: 8 seniors and 11 sophomores still have not posted their essays to www.turnitin.com OR e-mailed me a copy so I could do it for them. I WILL NOT RECORD YOUR GRADES UNTIL IT GOES THROUGH THIS PORTAL. Progress reports go home Friday; do you want a zero sitting there? You have two very simple options for fulfilling this requirement and if it is not done by Wednesday afternoon the zero goes in.

APees: Since we haev been discussing the autobiographical elements of Jane Eyre, I think it would be interesting for us to look at a bit of Bronte's correspondence. She sought advice from the then-famous "Lake Poet" Robert Southey, and reading their letters to each other offers a great deal of insight into both of their personalities. Not to mention that these letters lead to a terrific AP prompt. . .
