Are You Ready for Some Football?
I am at a loss- Boston College plays in the ACC championship on Saturday, while at the same time, our own football team plays in the central Mass Super Bowl. What is a pigskin loving teacher to do? Good luck to our football team! Regardless of the outcome, you have made our school very proud of your season.

Brit Lit: Remember to write your sonnets tonight. 14 lines- iambic pentameter; Begin in delight, end in greatness. Remember- the only one who needs to understand and enjoy it is YOU. Make it meaningful and share a part of you on paper. IMMORTALITY!
Soph Lit: I have just passed back everything that I had- some things did not have names, so please be responsible to check to see if you have anything missing. I also gave out grades (as of this week.) So- if any parent or guardian is reading this- ask them how they are doing in English tonight :-) I am working on making up the video assignment now- I will explain in class Wed.

I hope that you had a good break, and had a chance to spend some good quality time with those around you.
A big congrats to the football team in theirwin romp domination over my former school. UNDEFEATED!
Brit Lit:
Tomorrow we start a week of poetry. I am going to bring in some things that I wrote when I was 16 for you to make fun of- but it will allow me to prove my point about poetry and immortality.....
Make sure that you have your big "fat" books...
Soph Lit:
Today in class you did AMSND in 32 seconds. Forcing the play into a small box made you realize the key important facts. That sound is Shakespeare rolling in his grave....
