Since I can't quite figure out how to create a link for a Word document on our blog, I will be emailing everyone a copy of the syllabus. This is NOT necessarily the same syllabus you will receive in September - there are a few things I think I will be tweaking - but the content will be the same. You will receive a hard copy of the syllabus in the first week of school, so don't feel the need to print it out.Also, Notre Dame's Summer Shakespeare Festival is in full swing with its production of "Twelfth Night," running from August 18-23. See the link for performance times. Even if you are not familiar with "Twelfth Night," nothing is better than seeing Shakespeare LIVE! I have attended performances at ND in the past and the cast always does a brilliant job. Tickets are discounted for students at $15 and general adult admission is $25. I will be attending on Saturday, August 23. This is by no means required, just a suggestion from your friendly neighborhood AP English teacher :-) If you do plan on attending one of the performances, please let me know.
And finally, the sweet picture above is the newest addition to the Carter Conklin household. My husband and I adopted a kitten this week. Her name is Natalie Portman. Yes, Natalie Portman. We are both fans of Miss Portman, the actress, and the name just sounds distinguished for someone who weighs about as much as a green pepper.
The weekend is forecasted to be gorgeous, so get away from the computer, get outside, and enjoy the sunshine!
Happy Reading...
Coolio! Twelfth Night sounds awesome. I hope I can go! Ah, Cute Miss Portman! Such a little baby ^_^
ReplyDeleteOOO I'm excited! I mentioned it to my mother...but she didn't want to go all the way to South Bend. However, it made her remember that she has a complimentary pass to a different theatre group and it just so happens that tomorrow they are showing "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged)". So I still get to see Shakespeare live :D.
