I'm afraid Hamlet is going to take forever and we might forget him over break. We can't do that. OK?

Thank you for your work on The Alchemist. I know that it wasn't necessarily a favorite for everyone, but I hope you gained something from it. It's time now for our first Shakespearean play for your senior year and I think I probably prefer this one to Macbeth. It's much deeper than the other plays you read in high school, with much more complex characters, really just an overall more cerebral play. And I hope you LOVE IT. :)

There are so many thoughts I had during our Alchemist seminar, some of which I wanted to share and some of which I knew I couldn't share. I can't tell you how much that book speaks to my heart and my life. I hope that, at least for some of you, it did the same.

I want to use this blog as a multi-purpose blog for my English IV AP class. I will be posting the weekly schedule on here, as well as any assignments. My favorite part is probably to showcase wonderful writing and projects! I also will probably post some school/class news at times. Finally, and the most important part to you twenty-eight over-achievers, is that I will be putting a few postings per unit and the students are required to post a comment (a THOUGHTFUL comment) every unit. These comments should take the form of an online discussion, where you read all of the comments before yours and then make a contribution. Each unit will have a blogging grade attached to it. I am looking forward to the semester both in the classroom as well as online! :)
