Greetings Students!

And I think we are all THANKFUL for really short weeks!

Before I post the two-day plan, I'd like to congratulate our Poetry Out Loud representatives, Amber Dickey and Sabria White, for their awesome performances at the regional competition last Friday! And double congratulations to Sabria for WINNING FIRST PLACE in the anthology division!

And now, for the plan:

Monday, you will take your vocabulary quiz on lesson seven that we postponed from last week, after which we will read from Act IV of Julius Caesar.

Tuesday we will read from Acts IV and V of Julius Caesar. I hope we can finish reading the play this week, but if not, will certainly finish by the beginning of next week. Remember you will have two more major assignments on the text: a paper analyzing either a short passage from the text or the entire play (I have a few options) and a "Shakespeare in Six" illustration/presentation. I'll give you more details about these two tasks in class.

English 12

This week we will finish our reading of the Prologue from the Canterbury Tales. We will also read/review the Wife of Bathe's Tale and the Pardoner's Tale. Expect a test on the prologue, the time period, and the two tales in the coming week.

In addition to this, you will have vocabulary lesson seven quiz on Tuesday.

APEnglish Literature and Composition 12

You will be reading and discussing Othello Acts I and II in class for the two days this week. You will also take your quiz on lesson 59 vocabulary on Tuesday.

Don't forget that you will have two major assignments on Othello, so do pay close attention. You will analyze a passage from the text and you will complete a "Shakespeare in Six" illustration/presentation. Start considering your six most significant items or scenes now. I expect excellence, if not artistically, then thematically.

Don't forget that you should ALSO be reading Atonement. You will have two assignments on this text as well, similar to the two for Othello.
