The answer is no. Sorry.
But we're close, oh yes, we're oh so close!
Did you submit your Law Day Essay? You have 18 more minutes (as of now) to email your essay along with the required info (see previous post) to David_L_Grumbine@Whirlpool.com
For tomorrow's class: please complete the reading of Heart of Darkness along with your vocabulary list for the novel. You should average around 10 words a chapter (a minimum of 30 words).
Your critical examination question is also due. This should be typed, double spaced, 1-2 pages.
See you Thursday!! And remember, the best reading position for the last chapter of Heart of Darkness is sitting upright in an uncomfortable chair with plenty of light and the book open before you on a hard surface. Reading on the couch, in bed, or in a hammock may result in literary apnea - falling asleep while reading.

Citing dialogue from Lear...and MORE!!
If you are citing a dialogue exchange between two or more characters from King Lear, you should SINGLE space and block indent (always use a single space indented block quote when citing more than three (3) lines). It should look something like this:
Goneril: Dad is out of control
Regan: This is true. What do we do?
Goneril: No matter what he says, we're cutting his entourage of
knights and not letting him in to the castle.
Regan: But it's storming and really nasty outside.
Goneril: Seriously, Regan, you're such a daddy's girl.
(act. scene. lines)

If you have additional citation questions, see the website from Colby on the back of the assignment handout or drop an email my way.
And thanks to Allie for this clip of the 1974 production of King Lear with James Earl Jones as Lear. And you thought he was good as Darth Vader...

King Lear/A Thousand Acres
Please be sure to bring your copy of A Thousand Acres to class on Wednesday, March 10. You will have a writing response on ATA due Friday and depending how long it takes to get through the first part of Act IV, you may have time to get started on your homework.
Remember to bring both the play and the novel with you to each class. On the odd day that we finish early (yes, I know this has yet to happen) you can fill your extra time getting caught up on the outside of class reading.
And speaking of that out of class reading, hopefully you were able to make some headway on A Thousand Acres. We only have three more classes before we finish Lear and Act V is a short act.
ALSO: This is a reminder that your registration and check for the AP English exam is due MARCH 17 (a week from this Wednesday). Checks should be made payable to Lakeshore High School and should be dropped off in the guidance office. Please see me or Ms. Cuthbert if you have any questions.
