Jan. 13: Whooooosh!
Where has the time gone? One of my goals for second semester is to figure out how to use iweb so the technical glitches of Manila (the host of this webpage) won't be such a problem. Sorry about the gaps in info. AP Seniors: You're working on your literary research paper. I have been checking things off as I've seen them completed/acceptably done, so the check marks should be mounting up. On Thursday I might ask you to write for 1/2 hour on a paragraph, just to scare out any issues you should work out before The Big Weekend. You DO know it's a Big Weekend, don't you? Email drafts to me up to Friday night. I'll try to get them back to you by Saturday noonish and then: look at Tuesday! Barring other issues that would seriously affect due dates, your exam will be two parts: one prep-in-advance essay on your independent reading/coming of age novel, and one "sight unseen" on-demand. Boom. That's it. GL Students: your progress on your modern issues research is going well. We'll give you a checklist on Thursday so you can edit your work. Your exam will include a DOL section, some content questions (more on that to come), and a prep-in-advance essay presenting your modern issues research in thesis paper form. There. That's better. Now I hope I can post this!!!

What I'm Reading/Listening to on CD. . . I am restarting my list in honor of the new school year. . . Have bogged down a bit in Inkspell. . . those books are so full of sadness and longing that it takes me a while to get through them. =sniff= and the library just called me because The Help was in, so I have ANOTHER lush, thick book awaiting me! What am I DOING typing and not reading??! on cd in the car, finished the last of the Artemis Fowl books (The Eternity Code, number 3, actually): we've now listened to five of them this summer--out of order! Now am listening to HAMLET, a Naxos version which is TERRIFIC. Plan to download Sense and Sensibility soon as I haven't read it for a few years and it will make WONDERFUL company for construction traffic! Since school started, have finished Georgette Heyer's An Infamous Army, a historical romance set in 1815 Belgium. Fun and quite absorbing, I must admit! Also, just finished rereading a Spenser novel, Small Vices. He's predictable but enjoyable! TBR Books (To Be Read: Books I Haven't Gotten to Quite Yet) Among Schoolchildren, Tracy Kidder Bleak House, Ch. Dickens-does two pages in count? Four Stories--I even asked for this one! Done: Man's Search for Meaning: Viktor Frankl. Supposed to be my Advent reading. Maybe for Lent? Read it for Lent. Maybe I went too fast, but it left me pretty cold. |
