Advanced Placement Literature and Composition: I hope you are continuing to progress in Jane Eyre by Bronte; you have a quiz tomorrow! Today I am returning some graded work to you and finishing "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" before we listen to the Iron Maiden version (courtesy of Tobin). Coleridge does, indeed, ROCK.
Gifted English IV: Today I am giving each of you a Hamlet paper assignment. Your revised timed writings are due tomorrow, by the way. We are going to continue our reading of this play and prepare for a quiz tomorrow.
Gifted English II: Timed Writing today--persuasive topic. It should be interesting!

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY DRILL TODAY. For my students, that means we need to stay in our classroom and avoid the doors with glass inserts. For many other students, that means that you will be moving into a hallway. Listen to the announcements and cooperate with administration, and it will go quickly. IF YOU ARE ON A READING PASS, GO INTO THE NEAREST CLASSROOM FOR THE DRILL.
AP Literature: Jane Eyre reading passes; close reading of Jane Eyre with slips specifying elements of literature to seek out actively.
Gifted English IV: Hamlet--paraphrasing a soliloquy, and moving farther into Acts II and III.
Gifted English II: Introduction to The Elements of Style and finish Julius Caesar screening. We will have the JC unit test next week after the MLK holiday.

Report cards were scheduled to go out today, but due to a printing problem they will not be available until later in the week. I will update as soon as I hear from Guidance.
Advanced Placement Literature: "Kubla Khan" analysis and transition into "Rime." Coleridge amazes me.
Gifted English IV: Review Act II, scene i and transition into Act II, scene ii. Hamlet content vocabulary will be posted on the board for you.
Gifted English II: Each group will meet at the start of the period to discuss the Lupercal festival for next Thursday, and during that time I will come around and check your rough drafts. Remember that your paper is due Friday by 3 p.m. at the main office (I have to leave campus quickly for a poetry workshop) or by fax at 407.897.2466. Afterward--Julius Caesar bites the dust.
Note: If anyone needs assistance with anything, I will be in a department meeting after school, and then I will be in another mentoring meeting after that. Pretty much, if you don't catch me right after school, you need to wait until Thursday a.m.
