Welcome back Seniors!
I trust you had a restful and enjoyable holiday. Now that you are thus refreshed, we will really start to work! We have much to do this semester, so let's not allow senioritis to set in too soon. This month we will begin our study of the British Renaissance period, including a healthy dose of poetry and some much awaited Shakespeare.
To get us started on the right path, I now have the tools to make turn-ins easier to make and keep track of. I will expect each of you to enroll in my Moodle class and check it each week, along with this blog, for assignments and to upload papers.
Bring your books everyday, and also bring your vocabulary workbooks so that we can review for this weeks quiz on lesson 11.
To begin with, we will study the historical background of the Renaissance period. Then we will delve into some of the challenging texts, including poetry by Christopher Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh and the play Dr. Faustus. Be sure to read over the Reading Pointers for Sharper Insights link.
As I said, we will also have a vocabulary quiz on lesson 11 this week, and we will review the rules of agreement.
See you soon!
Mrs. SO
