Sorry about the lack of posts. As some of you may have noticed, the computer in my room is being repaired, which has not allowed me to blog at the end of the day.

Brit Lit:
Block A: We finally created our socks. If you asked to complete them at home, please make sure that you finish them and remember to bring them back to class on Monday. Also, in our creative Friday rush, I forgot to collect your HW. Please remember to bring it to class- I will collect them on Monday.

Block B:
Monday we start Macbeth. Ask me why you can't say the name Macbeth in a theartre.....

Soph Lit: Please cover your Animal Farm books if possible. I realize that it is hard to cover paperbacks, but it does help keep them alive longer.
You all did a wonderful job with your proaganda speeches today. Some of you have politics in your future. If you did not get a chance to google The Communist Manefesto- please do and come in with 3 lines that you found interesting and be prepaired to disscuss it at the start of class on Monday. With the Pep Rally schedule today, I just lost track of time...

Also...please watch either the presidental debate, cnn/fox news, or any of the Sunday morning political shows. Please watch for all of the terms that we discussed. I would like each of you to have three examples. Watch for the grandaddy of them all...begging the question. They will do it- see if you can see through the propaganda on both sides. Why don't we notice this normally? What does this say about our democracy? Remember- the most import thing that I can teach you is to think for yourselves. Think about it....

Today we worked on Fables. I gave notes, and we all tried or hand at writing our own.

Brit Lit:

Block A: Please answer question 1-8 (sorry I don't have the page number at home.)

Block B: Please read the assigned story from the Canterbury Tales. Sorry- I am at home and I am unable to give you the pg. numbers. You should have them from when I assigned them this AM.

It looks like we are going to have a very small class Wed. Please make sure your HW is complete- even if you are a Senior.

Soph Lit: I almost have your Catcher Tests done- still cutting through your essays. I hope to have them back tomorrow. On Wed. we will begin our notes on the Russian Revolution. Get ready for a bloody history tale....

Reminder to all of my classes: We exit right, and head down the side staircase on the 3rd floor. Please remember to meet on 3rd base.

Brit Lit: You have the night off. We will be (hopefully) watching parts of The Knight's Tale on Tuesday. In class today, we read the Pardoner's Tale. Please review the story. Block A- you had 4 lines left before the fire drill- please finish it at your convenience.

Soph Lit: Nice job on the review came. The next time that we play, I will be sure to have all of my sound effects working. Thanks for you understanding. Tonight: Please review for your Catcher unit test. Please also review your notes on: Theme, Symbolism, Salinger, and the significance of the title. Please have your books available, as I will be collecting them Tues.
