I didn’t take up last night’s homework, so you get an extension….finish reading “The Scarlet Ibis” and answer questions on page 173, 1-8. Use complete sentences.

Thank you to all my classes for a great day in the library!

No homework tonight.  In class we finished essays from Friday and did some colon/semicolon review.  Get ready for “The Scarlet Ibis” tomorrow. Makes me cry every year.

If you haven’t brought in your check for 12.00 for the vocab book, please do so.

You will need a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird (another bird reference…hmmm) by September 20th. Don’t forget.

Some info about Freemasonry, which is brought up in “The Cask of Amontillado”…Also, here are some photos of catacombs from Europe.  Uh, enjoy. 🙂

Probably can’t view on school computers…but for those of you at home, enjoy! (PS—these will totally give away the ending, but they are worth watching tonight if you want to get a better understanding of the short story.)  Don’t forget, test on Friday and folder due as well. Study!
