Welcome back! Hope you all had a great winter break. You will be given a January calendar when we return back to school on January 2, 2013. The month of January goes very quickly and exams begin on Tuesday, January 22. I will discuss the exam process with you in class and will provide you with a study guide sheet to help ease some of the anxiety you may have for your first ever high school English mid-term examination. Upon our return, you will viewing O Brother, Where Art Thou? This film is connected to The Odyssey in so many ways. It will be up to you to make the connections and fill out the viewing guide I will provide to you prior to our viewing of the film. You will also be preparing for a group presentation for a mythology assignment I will be assigning you. I will provide you with the necessary details in class. I will also be giving you plenty of time in class to prepare as a group on this presentation. The calendar will list all of the due dates for January.
Reminder: Vocabulary Unit Test # 3 will be given on Monday, January 14. Prepare for it in advance.
