Good evening!

I hope you had a good day today. I had to leave early for a doctor’s appointment, but I only missed sixth period and you guys were lucky enough to have Ms. Gathers as your sub.

Here’s what we did:

SOPHOMORES: Today (yikes!) somehow the Branaugh version of Hamlet jumped out of my purse somewhere between home and school so we had to settled for the Gibson version. Sorry! Before the film, I collected your Shakespeare notebook. I’m grading assignments #6-12 and #1-5 on those of you who I haven’t graded that section, yet.  After the film, you assigned parts/roles and ran through your lines.  HW: STUDY for your Vocabulary Test on Friday.

JUNIORS: Today, you received two handouts — Modernism Notes and GG vocabulary packet with words #1-144. We discussed the notes, I gave you the parts of speech for Monday’s vocabulary quiz. Then we read two pages in GG in first period up to page 14, in third period, we didn’t get to read any, and in sixth period, you read up through 16.  

HW: Vocabulary Index cards due tomorrow. See handout from Monday for specifications.

**Also, please check the American Literature Handouts section of this website for handouts from our Gatsby unit.

Okay! I must get back to making dinner. Pretty sad it’s almost 9 pm and dinner is not done yet. I have a very patient husband.

Have a swell night!
