Today's lessons, barring another unwelcome visit from the Fire Marshal (who ordered me to get rid of my Christmas tree, but We Have a Plan that largely involves James Parker running out the back door, cradling said tree and rushing it to my car, in the event of a return visit):
Gifted English II: Final FCAT-tery of the semester with an essay. The topics are predictable, but you are smart, so make it work, people. Make it work. Ten points if ya do. And tomorrow--the wrap-up of satire, and the beginning of my All-Time Favorite Lecture Like, Ever on how history and literature intertwine. You'll laugh, you'll cry; it's better than Cats. Truly.
APeeps: Hamlet Unit Test, followed by distribution of the second Hamlet focus paper. You knew it had to be coming, eh? This one is awesome, though, because it is DIRECTLY aligned to the FRQs of the AP Lit exam. And it's Hamlet-centric! What's not to like? Well, I can imagine, but at this stage of the game I am more invested in your getting college credit than in your short-term happiness. :-)
