Go to the choir concert!

Ninth graders watched clips of Shakespeare in Love and Romeo and Juliet.  Monday, while you have a substitute, you will watch another version of Romeo and Juliet.  Be good!

Juniors acted Act III of Macbeth.  Monday, you will watch Macbeth - enjoy!  Be good!

Bottom line - how you conduct yourself when you have a substitute speaks volumes about your character.

"I need; therefore I imagine." Carlos Fuentes

Ninth graders took a practice vocabulary test, read Romeo and Juliet, and received the following homework assignment:  write any of the following with the first ten words from the second Romeo and Juliet list:  (i) ten compound sentences or smiles; (ii) a cartoon; (iii) a story; or (iv) a poem.  Due tomorrow.

Juniors read Act 2 of Macbeth.  We will act Act 3 tomorrow.  For a few points, wear a costume or bring a prop reflective of some salient action in Act 3. 

Test this!

Ninth graders wrote and read R&J today.  Tomorrow we are back in our room, and we will continue to read R&J.

Juniors took the AP test today.  Please bring your copy of Macbeth tomorrow.

Exam Eve

Ninth graders had a good class today!  I read some of your wonderful cartoons on the document camera, and then we read R&J.  Good times.  Tomorrow your homework is to create a cartoon with words 11-20.

Remember that we meet in room 116 tomorrow!!

Juniors - what can I say?  You will do great tomorrow - just do your best, which is pretty marvelous.  Please do not stay up late studying, and don't hang out with crazy people who insist on quizzing you on the meaning of rhetorical devices.  BTW, the elimination for the finals of DWTS airs tonight.  There are worse ways to spend your time.

Can't wait to return to Macbeth!

It's a polygamous squirrel!

Ninth graders got a seating chart, completed a warm-up, received a homework assignment, and read R&J.  Homework for tomorrow is a cartoon/comic strip with the first ten words from the Romeo and Juliet list.

Juniors wrote a synthesis essay.  Please bring your questions about the test to class tomorrow, so that we can review one ... last ... time.  Start sleeping (at home).

The answers to your sample set of questions are on the following link:

You may swing by my room today or tomorrow for the other answers.

Have a great day!

Be good to your mothers this weekend

Ninth graders read Romeo and Juliet.  No homework this weekend.

Juniors reviewed for the AP test. Please practice some aspect of the test this weekend.  I will later post the answers to the multiple choice packets.

Be good!

Good luck, APushers!

Ninth grade read Romeo and Juliet, quite well if I do say so.  Please remember that tomorrow your poem with ten vocabulary words is due.

Juniors received three multiple choice packets and reviewed footnotes. Scintillating.

See you tomorrow.
