Freshmen:
Discussed some ideas and observations from LOTF chapters 1 & 2.
HW: Read chapter 3 and complete the notes. Find quotes that show meaningful descriptions of the environment. (If you didn't get the note handout in 7th period, you can find a copy of it in the list of links at the left of the page.)

AP Lit:
Discussed Genesis and Catastrophe and the many examples of irony... (all three kinds from your notes, imagine that!) We began our discussion of A Modest Proposal and I collected your study questions.

We'll be checking out copies of Candide tomorrow. As I mentioned today, the school only has 50 copies, and we have 63 students...so I need at least 13 of you to provide your own copy of the book if possible (for a little extra credit, of course). You'll need it starting tomorrow, though. So, hopefully, several of you will be able to track it down tonight and we'll be set to go. If not, I guess we'll figure out plan B...
