* Midsummer Review (Acts I-II)
* Antigone reviewed. Please take these notes:
- Weave your quotes into your sentence, "For instance, here is an example"; it helps you establish context, quote, and commentary seamlessly (Schwager 105). Notice what I write, "You capitalize on the way in, unless your quote follows the natural grammar of the sentence," and you need a comma or other punctuator on the way out (110). But if the "quote follows the natural grammar" of the sentence, you do not use the capitalization or puncutators to set off the quotation; the quote is embedded in the clause, not an interruption of the clause (110).
- Reminder: Underline book, play, and other long work Titles when handwriting; italicize Titles when typing.
- MLA: Measure your margins
- Key issue: You have three body paragraphs, each one with a sweet topic sentence. Great. Do you have three key supports for each topic? Oops.
- (Schwager) Read acts IV-V(you will be answering 4 questions from each of these acts for a total of 8 responses for Journal 16).
- (Reno) Prepare for your poetry recitation (Wed) and your Midsummer test (Thurs)
Travel Notes
Let's all sign up at the same time...perhaps later this month. So,
don't sign up until we're sure we have a sweet group going.
The price only went up $20 for March, which is almost nothing. That's awesome. We may not get the early sign up discount (about $100), but I'm asking if we can extend it for the month.
I'm making a place on my whiteboard for the tour. Please write your name and email address there. Once we have a reasonably-sized group, we'll schedule a meeting during the school day to see what your plans are and to see if I should call a meeting for your parents (so they can discuss details they are interested in).

CWP Quarter 3: Satire
Our fair high school holds a place
in history for its being the first high school (to my knowledge) to attempt
integration. It is ground zero for the cooperation of man and machine in the
interest of bettering the educational experience. A noble goal by any
standards, but three years in, you have no doubt recognized as I have by this
time the problems that are so incessantly present in this trailblazing
venture.
