A Windy Day!

4/3/06

Except for the weather, today was a quiet day for all my classes. We were visited by Tom, who is with the Art Institute of Chicago. He discussed how students could pursue a career in the arts-- be they culinary arts, graphic design, or even video game layouts. If you were interested in hearing more from the school, but forgot to get a form here's the school's website: http://www.artinstitutes.edu/chicago/

In English 3 news, our paper has had to be pushed back. There simply isn't enough time before break to allow you guys to write a paper. I also did promise a break (relatively) free from homework. So I am pushing the due date back to the week after Spring Break. I'm certain everyone is crushed. In a similar vein, our test has had to be cancelled too. We need to sign everyone up for ACTs. Don't worry, though, there will be other tests in the limited future we have before summer.

Tomorrow, in speech, if it isn't too wet we will be going outside to practice our oral presentations. Hopefully all the rain has passed us by and tomorrow will be a lovely day. If it turns out to be too cold, too wet, or storming tomorrow then we'll have to cancel this. Hopefully things will go off without a hitch.

Lastly, in English 4, we'll continue working on our research papers. You've got plenty of time now, but after break we'll have to get back into literature. Soon we'll be working on poetry and poetry analysis. It's twice as much fun as literature.
