Week of December 7, 2009

First, remember that this is an important day in history.

Monday/Tuesday

This may vary for seventh period because of Chuck Sullivan's visit. Still, even seventh period is expected to have finished Act II of "Romeo and Juliet." You also need the assignment that was due--at the beginning of class and typed. I will collect them.

Every other class, including sixth (because we don't get Chuck until Thursday), goes as follows:

Finish Act III of "Romeo and Juliet." If we don't do it in class, do it for homework.

Wednesday/Thursday

For most classes, it will be Act IV. For all but sixth and seventh, vocabulary chapter 8 is due on Friday.

Other classes are just as responsible for keeping up with the vocabulary, though--on your own.

Friday

Check vocabulary.

All of this may be altered according to circumstances of our visit from Mr. Sullivan and other circumstances. I will let you know things as I know them.

Don't worry about Brave New World this week. We'll start that next week.

Overall, read to the end of chapter four by Wednesday/Thursday, December and make sure that you have finished the novel before January 11th. There will be a seminar (1/11 and 1/12), followed by a test (1/13 and 1/14). Both will be weighted as test grades. You will have to come prepared for the seminar with questions and quotes. Seminar and test material will incorporate Brave New World, Ovid's myths, The Tempest, and Romeo and Juliet.
