Ashland Vacancy

Dear AP Students,

It has come to my attention that, due to an unfortunate and unavoidable schedule conflict, there is now one free spot on the Ashland trip for this weekend. In a nutshell, we leave at lunch Friday and come back Sunday evening. We're seeing Hamlet and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and the whole thing will set you back less than $100.

The first person to find me with $54 tomorrow morning gets the spot. 

Feel free to email with questions.

Mr Staiano

Lit Circles Begin

Today I went over the basic lit circle format, stamped HW and then groups had their first circle.

Lit Circles Begin

Today after a bit of housekeeping, lit circle groups met briefly and then we had some, gasp, reading time in class. The first lit circle assignment is due Monday.

Post AP Due Dates

Today we ran through a few things--dues dates for the final essay, the book project, and the AP test from last week--and then continued the film we started last week.

Q3 Book Poll

Hey Folks,

Hope you are enjoying the sun. I just wanted to let you know that, as per request, I have posted a poll question at Global Classroom asking which book you wrote on for the question three prompt on Thursday. Take a second and respond. Your colleagues and I will appreciate it.

See you tomorrow.

Mr. Staiano

Today We Had a Test ;-)

On the Eve of the Test

Today we spent the day reviewing the books we read this year in preparation for the third essay. Many of us will meet in the classroom tomorrow morning at 7:30-ish for a low-key potluck breakfast. Come if you want. If not, I'll see you before the test. Have a restful evening and sleep well. There is no point in cramming.

Fun w/ Study Guides

We spent a few minutes reviewing the calendar for the rest of the year, then got to work on a study guide review project. We will continue this project tomorrow.
