Today's Word: faux pas

Today's Odd Holiday: National No Housework Day, National Day of Hope, and (dare I print this in a high school student blog--be mature, people--we are talking about the dam-builder here) National Beaver Day.

Author of the Day: Tom Stoppard

Gifted English II: Author of the Day, followed by "A Whole Society of Loners and Dreamers" by William Allen, since we did "Porphyria's Lover" on Monday instead. And a review of memoir-writing. And various other cool things.

APees: Yes, you are going to hate me, but it is incumbent upon me to adequately prepare you for the upcoming AP exam. To wit: Timed Writing on a DBQ. We have been FRQing our brains out, and now it's time to put the D in DBQ. Yep. And it's about Jane Eyre! I am so, so relevant. :-)
