NOTE: The first poetry reading will be after school today from 2:30-4:30 in room 313; there will be snacks. This is for AP students but, really, if you are completely fascinated by poetry come along. Mrs. Covert and I are co-hosting, and we are analyzing four poems of varying intensity this week. If this one goes well, we will host them every three-four weeks.

Gifted English II: Author of the Day is Samuel Taylor Coleridge, my favorite Romantic poet. And I have a pop-up book to share with you that features his poem "Kubla Khan" as illustrated by Nick Bantock--another Author of the Day in the next few weeks or so. Vocabulary quiz follows, with analysis of "Billy."

APees: Oedipus Rex Test. And there will be much rejoicing. Help with ORex focus papers if you are so inclined.

Have a great weekend!
