The Ides of December! (Not really--Ides only come every so often, but since we're introducing the Julius Caesar Unit today. . .)

Gifted English II: After we festively re-bubble the Edusoft Answer Sheets: New and Not My Fault They Were Wrong The First Time, Seriously, we will watch the short video on reading your PSAT scores. And after that. . .Shakespeare! And how he was inspired to write JC!

AP Lit and Comp: Act I of R and G Are Dead, from page 33-on. To enchant you, here are some quotes from the playwright Tom Stoppard himself:

"The days of the digital watch are numbered."

"Every exit is an entrance someplace else."

"We're actors! We're the opposite of people!"

and. . .

"It is better to be quotable than to be honest."

Food for thought, but not necessarily food for imitative behaviors. . .
