Gifted English II: Author of the Day is the awesome, insightful, and hilarious Carl Hiaasen, Florida native. The lesson today is an FCAT prep test that should only take ten minutes, plus thought questions regarding The Stranger before we move into our next unit.

Reminders: Oedipus Rex is due on Friday, September 11; the first poetry reading is Friday afternoon in 313 from 2:30-4:40 (snacks provided, bring your own soda or bottled water); resubmits are due by Thursday if you choose to do so.
NOTE: President Obama's address is at noon, which is during fifth period. Our governor has asked us to show this in class, and I expect everyone to listen quietly and pay attention. I would like to point out that the Office of President is what deserves our respect today, and further point out that BHS has shown every president's address for the past 25 years from Mr. Reagan to Mr. George H.W. Bush to George W. Bush, and that this speech is not about party affiliation nor politics but about the need to do well in school, which frankly everyone needs to hear these days. Much love to all.
