Well, we are finally finished reading Great Expectations in our advanced English classes!  I know most of you are glad it’s over! 🙂  I have been pleased with the amount of time and effort you have put into reading the novel and, more importantly, applying what you’ve read into our class discussions and your lit circle discussions.  Please make sure you turn in your Great Expectations five paragraph essays before you leave for Spring Break!
