It's Been so Quiet!

Not much activity on the blog other than weekly schedules. So... what have we been doing? Has it been quiet in class, too?

Well, there was this...


Then there was this...


And, sadly and frightfully, there was this...



So yes, we have been busy. Just not as much to photograph lately.

Satire!

Here are a couple of resources for satire, should you wish to investigate further (all two people who are reading this).

A funny prom website

The Onion

How Do We Know What We Know?

I am proud of the efforts you made with Macbeth! You stayed very focused and involved and, from the discussions I overheard while doing your projects, you really did get it. We are moving on now into research, which is a very important skill, no matter what field you go into. You will need knowledge and information no matter what you spend your life doing, and it is important to know how and where to get that information. This is a giant piece of senior English, and as I explained last week, it's a lot of grades, so it is important that you stay on track and finish strong!
