Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Today is Ms. Skinner's birthday! Be sure to say Happy Birthday to her if you are in her AP Gov or American Government Honors class.

Gifted English II: Now that benchmark testing is behind us (whew) we can get back to Business As Usual. Author of the Day is Michael Crichton, followed by a quick review of some examples related to this week's literary vocabulary, followed by Antigone. BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK.

AP Lit and Comp: Yesterday, we read Macbeth, Act I, scenes i-iii. We need to finish looking at the questions before we go into scenes iv-vii. I plan to read Act I and II in class with you, then assign Act III for your own reading one evening. We need to do Act IV scene i together in class, and I'd like to conclude the play together as well (Act V, scenes iii-vii) but the rest will be independent. We have other Mactivities (get it? haha) to do that will help us reinforce our learning, as well. This play ROCKS. Thanks to all who dramatically read on Tuesday--you are all awesome.

Homework: Sophys: Keep up with the Antigone questions, and study your vocabulary. APees: Please, please, please work on your college essays and applications, and keep up with the Macquestions.
