Brit Lit:
Great job this am in your Paradise Lost translations- real good stuff.  Try to watch the Disney version of Fantasia.  The Night on Bald Mountain could be scripted to what we read today.  Some of my fav classical music in that.  For HW tonight, I would like  you to craft a 2008 response to Milton's poem.  Must be at least 14 lines, and model itself in the same style as Milton.

Soph Lit:

Thanks M for bringing in our Holiday Bush!  We will be decorating it English Class Style this Friday!  If you have any good holiday music, please bring it in.  I am kind of a XMAS music nut.  HW tonight- please read the poems that I assigned from Dead Poets.
