Take a few moments and appreciate the glorious Fall foliage this weekend. It is the same inspiration that has produced thousands of poems.... Take a walk in the woods and clear your heads. Poetry is the window to our souls and it can make us immortal. Find a spot and write what you are feeling. You may be surprised at the result...
Brit Lit:
Today we finished watching the film Shakespeare in Love. I hope that it helped you to visualize my notes, and connect to how real his play writing was. Next week, we begin our adventure into his mind, with our reading of Macbeth.
Soph Lit:
Please continue to watch for political propaganda. Orwell warned of absolute power. Always respectfully question authority and think for yourselves. Animal Farm is more than a tale of talking farm animals.... It is a stern warning that still holds very true in 2008. Look for the truth between the manipulation of language all around you.
We will be finishing the novel by Wed. Most likely, we will have some sort of final assessment on Friday. If you are behind, please use this weekend to catch up and ready yourself for the conclusion.
Have a great weekend. I am chaperoning the Homecoming dance Sat. If you see me, come over and say "hi." I am looking forward to seeing you guys all dressed up! :-) Have a safe weekend.
