Remember, ALL of your written notes for ACTS I, II, and III of Romeo and Juliet are due tomorrow. Be ready to turn those in immediately. Also, it might be helpful to briefly review the story up to the beginning of Act IV, so you're not lost when we jump back into it in class.

UPDATE

The new "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links have just been updated!

Prepare yourselves for class on Monday, and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Class today (Friday)...

Hi, everyone. If you checked the "weekly schedule" for this week at all last weekend or during the early part of the week, you already KNEW I wouldn't be in class today. I was in an all-day English department meeting...fun fun.

Anyway, to clarify some things:

1.) In class today, your task was to read and take notes as far into Romeo and Juliet as possible. Other than that, there is NO homework for over the weekend. Just be ready to review a handful of scenes in class on Monday.

2.) Please check this blog at some point tomorrow or Sunday to get a heads-up on next week's schedule...including details on the postponed "Comma/Shakespeare Quiz".

3.) Have a great weekend!

ANOTHER ONE!!

Well everyone, merry (early) XMAS with all of these days off. I'm sure you're all enjoying yourselves!

Back to reality, though...please READ AND TAKE NOTES THROUGH ROMEO AND JULIET ACT II, SCENE III FOR TOMORROW (FRIDAY). You should already be through Scene II at this point.

Maybe i'll see you tomorrow? Who knows....

Take care and be safe.

HAPPY SNOW DAY!

Enjoy the day off, everyone. But......

DON'T FORGET TO READ AND TAKE NOTES THROUGH ROMEO AND JULIET ACT II, SCENE II!!

See you all soon.
