Best of luck to all members of Show Choir in class as you compete at Shepherd Hill this weekend. Try and stop by- I will be the one filming with the camera in the back- I would love to see you guys. I can't wait to see your performance! Go Warriors! (For those just reading this out of context, SH has hired me to film all of the performances this weekend.)

Brit Lit:

Today I passed out the rubric for the "Make your Own Pilgramage" assignment. In class we worked on this for most of the class. We also listened to a musical version of Barbara Allen and agreed as a class that some things are better left unheard.

No "official" HW on the weekends- so enjoy.

Today in class we blocked the fighting scene in Act 3 in R+J. I am sorry that your final performances were rushed...

Enjoy the pictures from today, and no HW tonight...

Soph Lit:

Today in class, we worked on understanding your vocab words in the context of the sentence. Each group was given the page numbers of your vocab, and asked to rewrite the sentence using the def rather than the word.

During the 2nd 1/2, we talked about IM as slang. I passes out a sheet of IM terms for you to use, if Holden could text.

Please finish both if you did not have time to finish for HW.

Also- study vocab words/ read CH 14, 15.
