Macbeth

We will begin reading Macbeth shortly. I have asked all students to get permission slips signed for the film version we will be viewing while we read through the play. We will only view select scenes to enhance our understanding and appreciation of the work.

King Arthur

While the students are taking the HSPA test we will be viewing the film King Arthur. It presents the story that many believe the legend was based on.

HSPA

HSPA begins tomorrow.


Good luck to everyone.
Stay focused!
Do it!
