Juniors: DO YOU HAVE YOUR INDEPENDENT READING BOOK IN YOUR POSSESSION YET? If so, for 5 bonus points, post the title and author of your independent reading novel here before midnight on Sunday, April 3rd. You need to bring your book to class on Monday!
Seniors: Tomorrow is April 1st. Many scholarship applications are due this month. What are you doing now to put yourself in a position to be prepared for life after graduation? There are many scholarship opportunities on JVS's website. Check them out!!!
Lit and Film: Every time I saw a group of birds this week, I thought of you. Now I bet all these birds wish they hadn't flown back north so soon - someone forgot to tell Mother Nature we flipped the calendar to Spring!
Anyone going to the Indians home opener tomorrow? See you all on Monday.

Did You Start Your Hourly Countdown To Spring Break Yet???
One more day, one more day, one more day.... We can do this!
Seniors: Did you return your biography library books from our project? Also, if you will have no use for the costume articles that you picked up on our field trip, please donate them to the classroom. I'm sure I can put them to good use! Reminder - your Shakespeare background packet is due tomorrow. Be ready to start my favorite Shakespearean tragedy after break: Macbeth!
Juniors: What did you think of the decision of the elderly couple in today's story, "A Summer Tragedy?" What would cause them to go to such drastic measures? What would you do if you were in their situation? 5 bonus points for a thoughtful comment under this post!
Lit and Film: I'm not gonna lie...those birds give me the creeps! Scanning your faces as you were watching today's segment with the bird attacks at the birthday party and fireplace, some of you are also a little affected by these birds! This classic film used nearly 300 camera trick shots and was revolutionary for its sound effects and editing. As we continue to watch The Birds, pay special attention to the sounds in the film, especially the bird scenes. What do you think the sounds add to the mood of the film and/or the characters and why? 5 bonus points for a thoughtful comment under this post!
