Read for Your Class!

1st and 3rd periods 
TODAY --Quiz; see yesterday's post for details.
Make up ASAP if you missed it (tomorrow am at about 9 or tomorrow after school would be great!  Thursday would also work.

FOR TOMORROW--
Nothing specific, but if you haven't yet begun work on your personal essay, now would be a great time!

5th period
TODAY--Collected "The Wife's Lament" papers.  Discussed some of the questions, with particular attention to the reason her husband might have gone "crossed crests" or over the "wave-tumult," why the kinfolk might have wanted to break up the marriage, and whether there was a love triangle involved.  We looked at kennings from the poems, and practiced some modern ones.   See the Study Guide link in yesterday's blog post; it includes the chart I had on the overhead as well as the complete list of what's covered on this quiz.

TOMORROW
But unfortunately, because tomorrow is Wednesday, I'm afraid that some of you won't finish.  I'm prepared to give the quiz in two parts. You will definitely have about two-thirds of it tomorrow.  Some of you will have extra time, but everyone should be able to finish.  Thursday is the wild card; for sure, a counselor will be in class for part of the period, but sometimes this 2nd visit takes only 20 minutes, but sometimes nearly 40.  So the rest of the quiz will be EITHER Thursday or Friday!
