Autumn is almost upon us, and so are 1st quarter Benchmarks for all 4×4 classes.  (This does not apply to A/B classes.) 

 

English 12 classes will be wrapping up their study of Chaucer and of The Time Machine, with a number of tests and quizzes in the week ahead.  Benchmark tests will be given on October 12th.  We will be doing a lot of culminating activities and review in preparation.

 

AP classes will be having their first test — on I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings –, continuing the analysis of selected poetry, and beginning a study of Anglo-Saxon literature.
