Protest the Hero, Scurrilous
There's a SAT-type word for you, huh?
I will repeat: these guys annoy me because they are so young & so talented.
Yep, envious much.
(a touch of sarcasm, by the way)
New lyrical direction--less esoteric (speaking of SAT words), more personal--same musical direction, though a little less time-changy this time around. Still prog-metal, though.
& still tremendous.
Juniors:
You vote for the next course of study--nonfiction, short stories, novella, or novel--& the verdict will be in shortly.
I'm currently trying to decide if how I count the votes for "fiction" & "picture books."
Also, deciding if the misspelled votes should count . . . the English teacher in me says, if you can't spell "novella" (mostly misspelled w/ 1 "l"), then your vote doesn't count.
You got the whole rundown on the AP Fact sheet of your life (some details in yesterday' post).
Due Friday--at the BEGINNING of the period, & if you're late or absent, it doesn't count.
Sophomores:
You also got the BONUS!! rundown, & then . . .
. . . we looked back at chapters 3 & 4 of the novel (Lord of the Flies, that is).
You are to read chapter 6 tonight--you will be quizzed tomorrow--& we will review both 5 & 6.
Looking ahead, 7 & 8 over the weekend, 9-12 completed by the following Monday.
be cool
Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddd...
ReplyDeleteYou win today for using the word "esoteric" in a sentence, as I have rarely seen it in a sentence thusfar...
I say: –mayhaps arbitrarily– do not count the votes that were misspelled; if they cannot spell the genre, odds are they do not know enough about it to make an informed decision. *Flameshield up, fire away*
Yup, misspelled words have re-opened the vote. As I mentioned, the 3 fiction categories will be back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh, & last year's blog was titlled "Esoteric Rutabaga," by the way.
