Week of 9/22

Big week! Wrapping up Macbeth and moving on to the end of the unit, sonnets and satire. I am grading chapters one and two of senior memory books and I have to say, they are highly entertaining reading from those of you who are doing them. You are talented writers. The rest of you, please understand that this is a total of 1000 points! You cannot pass with a 0/1000. I promise.  GET THEM DONE.
