Dear Old Books

The assignments for Book #2 of your summer AP reading trickled in during the end of the week before the Friday deadline. Thanks to those who were so prompt in getting your work in. I'm working on some homework of my own, due September 1st to my grad school mentor. It may be cliche', but I do feel your pain with the summer assignments. It's been a while since your fearless leader has had homework!

Click on the title of the post for an article from the UK's Telegraph newspaper regarding the Oxford English Dictionary. You may recall me mentioning the premier authority on the English language. Only two complete OEDs have been published (they take several decades to compile) and it looks like the third OED will NOT be available in print. Read the article to find out why. And I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this...

Book #3, the book you are reading along with other AP students in smaller groups, should be completed by Wednesday, September 23. This will follow our discussion of Catch-22 and Pride and Prejudice, as well as the test over these two books. It would be a good idea to review your reading logs for Book #1 in the days before we come back to school.

Enjoy your last week of freedom! I'll be at school on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, so if you're around feel free to stop by my room.

Happy reading!
