Fall BREEEEAAAAKKKKKKK!!!!!!

I know that you guys are as excited as I am about fall break.  I can hardly wait to take nine days to rest and relax with my family.  I hope you will all be careful and have fun on your break.  Also, please use this time for a little reflection.  When we return, the nine weeks ends and a new one begins.  Some of you are probably happy with your grade and a lot of you probably aren't.  Please come back rested and ready to focus.  We have a lot more to do (a lot that I think you will really find interesting), so let's be ready to buckle down and do it!

Considerations for the play... · Is Brutus a good man? · Can a good man commit murder? · Is the quality of shrewdness the fatal missing ingredient in Brutus’ character? · Or alternatively, is he just an evil person?
