We have begun our study of Shakespeare's Scottish play, Macbeth. This should take us pretty close to the holiday break.

The next Macbeth assignment is due Wednesday, Dec. 1. The students have had time this week to work on a persuasive letter to Macbeth, encouraging him not to kill King Duncan. They will have half a block period Wednesday to type their essays in the LRC, and I will collect rough and final drafts. The assgnment sheet is attached below.

The Independent Reading grade has been moved to the second semester and is now "out of 600." As a result, some students' grades dropped temporarily until they complete another book talk (it was "out of 300 for midterm progress reports). The category is still worth 20 percent of the overall grade, and the deadline for book talks for first semester is Friday, Jan. 13.
