Gifted English II: Today, we are going to review words #21-40 for this week's vocabulary quiz and then have a Title Parade for the Stranger essays. If we finish with time to spare, we are going to review a brief history of the etymology of our entire language preparatory to our next unit. Exciting times in Gifted class! Remember: Underclass Picture Day is TOMORROW. You may either bring payment with the form I gave you in class, or have your parental units pay online at dsp.com in the next few days. Dress nicely!
AP Lit and Comp: First multiple choice practice session, followed by analysis of Tess with respect to diction, syntax, and tone. 6th and 7th period classes will probably have a moderate amount of HW tonight due to the fire drill yesterday and its resultant distractions. Bring a pencil, please!
