Dubliners?!

So, I decided that since there's only like 15 stories in the book we have to read, I'm going to read one every day or almost every day when I go to sleep. I've read two so far. I'm not really liking it yet, but we'll see. I think I've gotten into "poetry mode" and now I'm used to it, so it's weird reading something longer and... less meaningful. The first two stories I've read have been kind of pointless to me, but I don't know if that's becasue I have started to like the poetry we've read, or if they really are just not very good. Anyone have any opinion about them so far? I'm probably the only loser who has read them anyway :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful break!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, AP warriors!!!

 Okay, so this looks more like a Halloween picture than a Christmas one, but I wanted to show off your creative skills from the Oedipus mask project. I can't tell you how impressed I was with the variety of perspectives and approaches you took. Very cool!!

 I hope you are all enjoying time with family and friends. Relaxing, sleeping in, and recharging the mental batteries are all in order these next two weeks.

 

I hope you all know how much I appreciate the work you have put into AP English so far this year - both in and out of class. Our discussions are always filled with creative ideas and energy. I hope to see even MORE participation from some of the quieter members of class - and certainly increased traffic on the blog!

Have yourselves a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!! On with the learning in 2011!!

Dubliners

So I was wondering do we need to do a half page for every story or just make sure we have a half/full page for the entire thing?

Oedipus

Is that a Wookie in the corner? Haha and he just kept showing up...

Family Tree!

Mwahahahahaha I found a family tree for Oedipus Rex!! and it's actually quite thorough. :)
