I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving... Congratulations to the guys for the great win last week -- looking forward to the game on Thursday!
This will be a short week, but we have much to do (of course):
First, although I didn't give any homework over the break, you should be finishing up DEAR books and any other outside reading assignments. Your papers will be due soon on those.
Seniors, I'll give you your research papers on Monday to REVISE. We'll discuss the final format and answer general questions concerning your papers. I'm happy to say that many (most?) of your papers are close to finished, and I believe you've produced some good writing overall. However, as noted, I have made corrections/suggestions on ALL of your papers (three each, for those who have completed the assignments), and I fully expect you to follow my suggestions for revision. Those of you who are behind need to catch up. All grades are due in about three weeks, which means you have about two weeks to deliver the final product.
Juniors, we will start reading "Young Goodman Brown" and Other Stories on Monday. There are a total of seven stories, and we'll read all of them before the break. We'll also discuss paper topics, research, and integrating sources.
Freshmen, we are currently reading Act Three of Romeo & Juliet (just in case you've mysteriously forgotten what we've been doing). I've posted a link to the "No Fear" edition for those interested. I encourage you to shop locally and to order from Windows.
NOTE: You are not required to buy a copy of the play in modern language. We will be discussing the play in class and watching two different film versions, as well.
We will finish the play in the next two weeks, and a large portion of the midterm will cover the play; however, our video projects might have to wait until after the break.
