Happy Valentine's Day!!

Pre-AP
In conjunction with our study of the Greek Pantheon, we watched Disney's Hercules in class today.

Homework:  Students need to finish reading Part 4 of The Odyssey (pages 1009-1018) and be familiar with the action that ends our study of this epic.  Students also need to start writing the Voyage of the Dawn Treader essay that they were assigned yesterday.  (For the essay prompt, scroll down this page to Monday's post.)  The test on the final part of The Odyssey is on Friday, and the essay is also due on Friday.

AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we analyzed a short story by Shirley Jackson entitled "The Lottery."  We studied symbolism in the story, using context clues to figure out intention and word meaning, and what the main idea of the story is.
