Gifted English II: Diagnostic grammar test to see what skills we need to reinforce in the all-important fourth quarter; ideological introduction to the next outside reading assignment; if time, resumption of Author of the Day.

It's more important that YOU learn about the authors the world has to offer rather than have you watch other kids struggle with tri-fold boards and dioramas.
APees: Sonnets; two of 'em. One from Sir Thomas Wyatt, who was briefly Henry VIII's favorite until he was beheaded (which always makes friendship awkward) and one that is a revisionist 20th century take on a similar theme. TP-CASTT, ahoy! Ahoy!
