Freshmen:
We continued on with Book Talks today. Be ready on the day you are scheduled and we'll finish these up next week.
Then, we began working on reading pgs. 49-71 in the red version of The Odyssey. We will continue with this reading and answering the questions in class tomorrow.
HW: Greek Mythology/Odyssey test will be next Thursday. Start reviewing your notes and assignments!

AP Lit:
In groups, you began a discussion comparing Hamlet with Death of a Salesman. The goal being to find as many similarities as you can within the plays-- plot, characters, themes, images, symbols, etc. We will report out and continue working on this tomorrow...(and we might just add in Oedipus too.)
HW: We will be having a test over Tragedy on Thursday and Friday. You should know the characteristics of Aristotelian tragedy, the differences between Greek and Shakespearean theater, and of course, you should know the details of the plays we've read. The format will be one short answer and one essay question on each day.
