There might be a fire drill today during fifth period. Plan accordingly. I will be toting my SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY sign, so if we get separated in the fray find the sign.

Gifted English II: Author of the Day is Elizabeth Barrett Browning, after which we are doing a grammar activity based on yesterday's chat in class. The Antigone test is Tuesday, and I will review you extensively on Monday in class. If we have time today, I'd like to read "Daedalus and Icarus" by Ovid in preparation for a mini-unit on language.

AP Literature and Composition: MacReview for the Mactest on Tuesday, followed by a Frost poem that is ideologically connected to the MacPlay. Guaranteed to leave you depressed. Fifth period, a thousand apologies--we will be deconstructing said poem on the practice field in the hot sun, in order to ensure Fire Safety.

NOTE: Thanks to all who came to the Project X-Mas meeting after school on Thursday; it was awesome.

NOTE NOTE: Poetry reading after school today from 2:30-4:00 in room 315. Please consider attending!
