The assignment for Tuesday night: find a sonnet or sililoquy that you want to memorize. Print it, AND write it out in manuscript to start your memorization process. Since I didn't get these posted before bedtimes on Tuesday, you have another day. We will start recitation next Tuesday.

To blog or not to blog... To post or not to post
Blogs, tweets, facebook groups, Google groups, are all tools to help disseminate information. I'm still trying to see which works best for us. So far, I think the Google group is the most flexible. We can discuss, post pages, post files, send E-mail. The blog page has an easy tool for posting pictures and slideshow of our activities. Facebook is blocked at school, which makes that network difficult. What do you think?

Please have that paid by Wednesday, February 10. I have permission slips from almost all of you for Romeo and Juliet. If you are new to the class, you will need to fill out a permission slip.
