EXTRA CREDIT WORDS ARE AT THE END OF THIS POST..... above you can see Gold and Gross experiencing the joys of English.........and fairy wings?F period, 24 January.
And now for something less fun...... don't forget to read to page 16 in Catcher in the Rye for Friday. Also, there is a Vocabulary quiz (if you're missing the vocab scroll down on this page) and if you didn't have sentences today, I need them!
A-B-C
Vocabulary quiz is tomorrow (Thursday), make sure to have your sentences. A period should come prepared with ideas about Catcher in the Rye, and Honors classes should read the first act in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
EXTRA CREDT WORDS:
defenestrate~ to throw something out of a window
otiose ~ Means, roughly, "too complex/arrogant/whatever to be dealt with right now." But, the word is rare and obscure enough that just using it automatically means that you're being otiose yourself...
bugaboo - a chipper word for something that means "an imaginary object of fear." It certainly sounds imaginary!!

This is an awesome blog. What is a blog anyway and how can I start one. The English class sound tough but fun. I love the extra credit words. Does Miss have a boyfriend?
Ok anonymous, maybe you should be in the English class...... than you would be able to write that it SOUNDS fun instead of SOUND fun. And yes, the class is loads of fun and Miss is is a cool teacher.
This is anonymous again. Sorry for the grammatical error. I was so excited to visit this blog that I did not use spell check and believe it or not I have very good grammatical skills much like my daughter. Enjoy the day on the lovely island of Martha's Vineyard
