We took the test on Huck Finn. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view), we were interrupted by the madness.

HOMEWORK:  Work on essays.

WHAT’S NEXT:  Finish tests.  Essay revision.

We read from our novels for the first part of the period. Following that, I returned the Gulliver’s Travels essay, reviewing the MLA formatting problems the class had.

After the break, we read Wordsworth’s “Lucy” poems (p. 663-665). We tried to figure out what Lucy was like, what aspects of Romanticism were evident in the poems and what poetic devices Wordsworth used.

HOMEWORK: Prepare for quiz on Lucy poems on Friday.

WHAT’S NEXT: Coleridge

We continued to work on our essays on Google Docs.  We learned how to collaborate with others, spell check, make revisions and comments.

HOMEWORK:  Continue to work on essays at home.

WHAT’S NEXT:  More work on the essays.

Layout continued.  We are still waiting for articles on the drama competition, ice hockey, boys basketball, wrestling and swimming (among others).  We looked through some March Madness photos for the front page.

HOMEWORK:  Continue working on new articles for next week.
