This week's focus: English: Edgar Allan Poe. You should be finishing "The Purloined Letter" and planning your Author Report. MLA format, 3 to 5 pages. The report should recap Poe's life, discuss his poetry and prose, and have a good introduction and conclusion. A sample of MLA format will be provided next week. Right now, finish the story, be prepared to discuss it on 9/21, and be thinking about your report and identifying your sources. You need 3 good sources on your "Works Cited" page.
Latin 3: working through lessons, some review of last year's work, increasing your comfort level with conjugations and declensions.
Greek: Mastery of the alphabet is key right now. Keep working in the workbook and handout sheets.
