Some News

Today we talked about a few things to start the day, including a change in the lit circle schedule. Tomorrow we will not meet in lit circle groups. Instead, we will be responding to essays sent over by Mr. Feldstein's 8th graders. As a result, though you must still do your reading, you are responsible for one fewer lit circle HW assignment.

Other HW: Bring or return Sound and Sense.

Let the Testing Begin

Today we did a bit of question 1 essay practice in class, but as so many people were absent taking the government final, that's about all we did.

I did talk a bit about the book project in period six. More information to come later in the week.

Remember: AP Lit Test on Thursday!
