ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. APees: Please bring your textbook to class this week, starting Tuesday. Yes, that big, expensive white thing I haven't asked you to use yet. Now is the time, grasshoppers. Now is the time.
2. APees again: If you would like to purchase your own copy of Frankenstein for annotation purposes, bring 2.50 to class by Tuesday, 1/25. I am rush-ordering them to have next week.

3. Service hours: I have a new sign-in log for NHS service hours, to clarify and simplify the process. If you help out in 313 or for Project X--Classified this term, be sure to sign the log. Protects you, protects me.

4. Sophys! Registration begins week after next, and Guidance is coming to Guide you! More information pending, and soon.

AP Lit and Comp: After we discuss the prompt from the Semester Exam and share a few terrific examples, we are transitioning into the Romanticism Unit. I have a handout for you to facilitate your note-taking, but plan to take notes today, and possibly tomorrow as well.

Gifted English II: After we pass back ALL the work from last term (you might want to save some in a file for next year. . .) we are going head-first into Act IV of Julius Caesar. You have HW tonight: six or seven questions on the act, so the more we do in class, the less HW you might have.
