All Classes: November 22-23

Since each of us will only be meeting once this week, I am making one blog. I hope you all have a wonderful extended weekend and a great Thanksgiving!

• On Monday I meet with my A-day tenth grade. We will turning in our tests on Bradford and Byrd. We will also begin a study of captivity narratives, focusing first on the Narrative of Life of Olaudo Equiano, a slave captured from the Ivory Coast and transported over the Middle Passage. Be sure to bring your literature books. (This assignment also applies to my regular tenth B-day.

• All regular twelfth grade meets on Monday. You are to give your group presentations on The Canterbury Tales and turn in your group booklets. I can hardly wait to see what you've done!  Bring your books after the holiday because we will be starting our study of Arthurian Legend.

• Tuesday begins with APEnglish 12. You will be scoring your partner's papers by the QOEGV method we reviewed in class. Then you will revise the paper you choose to have me grade for an essay grade. The other will count as a daily grade. If time permits, we will continue reading Hamlet, so bring your books.

• Pre APEnglish 10 will continue with our captivity narrative study. We will discuss heroism as is exhibited in the characters we are reviewing. Expect a paper on this theme soon.

Have a great holiday! See you in class!
