Confusion Abounds

Thursday, September 1st was a day to forget. A strange sequence of events, starting at about midnight this morning when my son woke me up sick with a 104 degree temperature, led to confusion and dismay--especially concerning upcoming reading assignments.

I was able to get the big "Anglo-Saxon Emergent Period packets" to most of my students, but a few came by after school, and I had run out again. As a result, there will be no reading check Friday, the 2nd (A), or Tuesday, the 6th (B). I will begin class with an introduction of the literary period, the historical background information, and the stylistic techniques of the time.

We'll all get on the same page as far as the reading goes at that time. No matter what happens, no matter how crazy it gets, always defer to the syllabus when you get confused. If the syllabus says do it, then do it. Tomorrow will be better.

Please read below for some helpful research tips! And thank your classmate Taylor Robinson for the information!
