Just to reiterate, here is an article explaining the the necessity for a strong skillset surrounding imagery and attention to detail in the English classroom.  This is a good read for both parents and students who just completed the Details: Art Replication Project, and will be good to revisit next year for AP English 11 where the use of images in conjunction with the literary sources will expand in both scope and depth.

P.S. If you didn't notice the use of "the" twice in a row in the first sentence, you weren't paying enough attention to detail.

Be on the lookout here on the blog, and just in general, for cultural enrichment opportunities.  This time of year is a good one as the weather starts to get nice and there are more and more outdoor opportunities and things that involve hands on activity than the winter indoor activity calendars typically allow.

You should be looking toward the finish line on "The Martian Chronicles."  We will close out discussion on it the week after spring break and take the third test the following week, likely Monday the 26th or Tuesday the 27th.
Honors students:  If you emailed me yesterday/this weekend about issues with your group, you will need to come talk to me in person with updates on where you are, whether the issue has been resolved, and if necessary, what steps we will take to make sure everything is taken care of.  This will be the most efficient and up to date way to handle the large number of emails I received from groups I was not already in communication with.
Last week:

Wed/Thurs: All classes Vocab 10 test/essay

Friday: All classes Martian Chronicles Test #2
