Welome to Your Destiny!
(cue dramatic music)
Since all of the literature we are studying comes from England, it makes sense for us to understand how this (once) great nation came to be; thus, today we reviewed the conquests, great leaders (Alfred, Bebe) and culture of Britain by beginning in the Middles Ages.
Your homework for tonight is to create a riddle of 7 to 15 lines. End it with "What am I?". Have fun trying to stump us. Please have it typed or neatly printed for me to collect (again, not for marks...per se).
Here's to the start of what looks to be a promising semester!
p.s. accept my invitation to be a blogger found in your carvermail.

#WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
HEY-O.
So, last class we officially concluded our Hamlet study with a rather lengthy Unit Test. Our homework for our next class is to finish (or start) your Hamlet essays and read up on the History of the Modern Age (no questions!) so dust off that big ol' green mONSTER OF A TexTBoOK and brush up on some LIT HISTORY.
THE REST IS SILENCE.

Hamlet for You
Friday's Notes
When I asked Brittany to read she said,' I don't know who I am."
I started to quote Hamlet. Here is that quote in its entirety:
