Week of March 21st - March 25th


Good Morning everyone! Hope you had a great and restful weekend!
Now, back to work!

Monday, March 21st:

Pass out trip slips (I hope) to see Tartuffe at the Actors’ Gang on Wednesday, March 23rd. We will leave Hollywood High at about 9:30 and return at about 1:00 pm.

Go over John Keats’ “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” (which some scholars think may be a comment on his own frustration with love.)

Also go over elegy and the villanelle form of poetry.



Tuesday, March 22nd:

Shortened day. We probably won’t have that test over poetry just yet. We should go over the dramatic monologue and do some reviewing over poetry terms. We are going to try for Thursday.



Wednesday, March 23rd:

If we can get the bus we will see Tartuffe, a Moliere comedy which is playing at The Actors’ Gang. I am fairly certain we can get the bus, but it’s not 100% certain at the moment I am writing this (Sunday morning) that we will. And yes, I know that a few of you are going to see Doubt at the Pasadena Playhouse with Bill Goldyn. That’s okay.

If we don’t get the bus, then we will take that poetry test. So let’s all hope we get on that bus today!



Thursday, March 24th:

Poetry test! And I will give you a compare and contrast essay over a John Keats poem and a Robert Frost poem. This will be due on Tuesday, March 29th.



Friday, March 25th:

Bring your CRIME AND PUNISHMENT book. We will at last discuss the book! Break into groups and compose questions and answers about Raskolnikov, Svidrigailov, Sonia, Luzhin, Dounia, Katerina, Porfiry, and Razumihin.
