First, the semester exam schedule is available on the BHS website and is pretty definitive. You have no school next Monday, January 17, so the exams will run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with two exams on Tuesday and Wednesday and three on Thursday. Teachers will have school Friday to finish grades, but you have to make up any missing exams by January 24 OR THE GRADE CANNOT BE CHANGED. This is not a Boone thing but an OCPS thing due to our awesome new software. Plan ahead!!!!
Here is the tentative schedule for next week at Chez Hilley:
Monday, 1/10:
Gifted English II: Finish the compare/contrast for Julius Caesar; go over Acts I-III in visual form. Final Authors of the Day, too! Almost finished. . .
AP Lit and Comp: TS Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and its connection to Hamlet. This one's a doozy, guys, but a necessary evil for the AP exam. Not to mention for life-long cultural literacy. . .
Tuesday, 1/11:
Gifted English II: Distribute graded work and exam review packets; more Julius Caesar analysis; collect questions for Acts II and III.
AP Lit and Comp: Analysis of Eliot and literary criticism (seven short pieces and your final writing assignment for the semester) and distribution of semester exam review packet.
Wednesday, 1/12-Friday, 1/14:
BOTH CLASSES: Comprehensive examination reviews in class and make-up work opportunities before grades are due.
NOTE: There will be scheduled study periods integrated into the exam schedule, so you can submit make-up work up until Thursday, 1/20/2011.
