AP Updates/Reminders

I have decided against a take-home test for this particular unit. Instead, we will take it immediately upon our return from spring break. It will cover everything in this unit, but just looking back at your notes should be sufficient. In addition, I need you to read Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" and Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" over break. Both are in the reddish book or are easily accessible online. These will be covered by the test as well. Finally, make certain that you have Grendel finished by the Wed after break. We may not get to it immediately, but you need to be ready. Have a wonderful rest of this week and restful and fun Spring Break! The time is going to fly by once we return. I miss you already! Please be safe over the break. Love you guys!!!
